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.
