Just wanted to pass on a heads up on some APARs that require HDS
microcode on DASD. And that microcode will not be available until the
2nd week in January.
It was reported to IBM. I was the second person to report it. There is
going to be an (AI) added to the APARs as soon as I get them the HDS
code level required. We are waiting to see what the microcode level is
that is required for this.
Neither of those APARs relates to HDS but apparently they made some
change that HDS requires. What is incredible to me is that IBM is
depending on you, a customer, to get the HDS microcode information. IBM
and HDS have a close relationship in the disk area, and I am surprised
that HDS does not have some mechanism to report this dependancy directly
to IBM. This would also make sure that there are no transmission errors
in getting the info from HDS to you to IBM.
