    PTF LU06450 provides 64 bit support for VM:Backup HiDRO version 2.8. The availability of 64 bit support removes earlier limitations described in the Broadcom Knowledge Document 138870. For example:

    • You can perform a standalone initial program load (IPL), either from tape or the CP PARM disk, on processors that support IPL only for 64 bit systems.
    • You can configure HiDRO service machines to run in disconnected mode under zCMS, in Z architecture mode.
    Note that if you install RSU-2201 via  PTF LU06667, it automatically installs PTF LU06450. PTF LU06667 is also a prerequisite for all subsequent VM: Backup HiDRO version 2.8 PTFs. Therefore, Broadcom Support recommends that you install RSU-2201 to obtain 64 bit support for your HiDRO installation. For additional information, refer to the New Features topic in the VM: Backup HiDRO documentation.

    If you have questions regarding, or need assistance with PTF LU06450, contact Broadcom Support: support@broadcom.com.
