Hi,
One of our teams recently had difficulty downloading PTFs and again we
traced it back to servers that were in use by IBMLink that were not in
our firewall.
We complained that we had not been notified of changes. This was
acknowledged and an IBMLink news item was posted (PMR# 50090,487)
REMINDER: SRD Order Delivery Servers
This is just a reminder to ServiceLink users that the FTP servers which
host orders for SRD that are delivered via INET were changed earlier
this year. Please make sure that your corporate and/or personal firewall
settings are adjusted accordingly. The current delivery servers and
their IP addresses are as follows:
delivery01-bld.dhe.ibm.com: 170.225.15.101 & 129.35.224.101
delivery01-mul.dhe.ibm.com: 129.35.224.102 & 170.225.15.102
download1.boulder.ibm.com : 170.225.15.106
download1.mul.ie.ibm.com : 129.35.224.106
An IBMLINK news item is posted now to provide the formal notification of
the new sites, however, this appears to have happened several months ago
and I can find no formal warning, like the October 2009 notifications.
In regulated institution it is normal for firewall committees to keep a
tight rein on the IP access list changes. We need fair notification to
allow time to make these changes.
Did anyone else miss this? I still cannot find a previous notification.
