The following system firmware changes affect systems that are not HMC-controlled: A timing issue in the firmware was fixed that was causing firmware installations from the operating system to fail. LIC code updated. None. The following system firmware changes affect the Model 570: On model 570 systems with 12 or 16 processors, the maximum number of partitions had been erroneously set to 80 in SF235_160; this firmware level sets the maximum back to 120 partitions for 12 processors and 160 for 16 processors.

LIC code updated. None. Fixes a problem that caused unnecessary Service Agent calls because SRC B1816009 was being generated when the white power button was pressed before the power-on sequence was complete. LIC code updated. None. On model 590 and 595 systems, fixed a problem that was causing DDR II memory cards in slots C10 and C12 to fail the memory test during a slow-mode boot. LIC code updated. None. Fixed a problem that was causing a platform dump to be incomplete under certain circumstances. LIC code updated. None. Fixed a problem that was causing a hypervisor dump to be corrupted. LIC code updated. None. Fixed a problem that caused the location codes to be incorrect after the planar is replaced in a pSeries 7311-D20 drawer. LIC code updated. None. The timestamp from the bulk power controller was added into the serviceable event log entry. LIC code updated. None. Fixed a problem that prevented the "nvunalias" open firmware command from working. LIC code updated. None. Fixed a problem that kept the physical I/O description field on the HMC GUI from being updated after a "remove FRU and add FRU" operation. LIC code updated. None. Fixed a problem that caused a service processor dump or a platform dump and SRC B1817201 or B7004400. LIC code updated. None. Changed the firmware so that a modem attached to a system port will reconfigure to enable call-in following a power failure. LIC code updated. None. Fixed several problems associated with firmware installations: - SRC B1814008 or B181F131 was generated on reboot - A service processor dump occurred during a firmware installation "lsmcode -c" command displayed all zeros for the firmware level on the T side after an installation LIC code updated. None. Fixed VPD-related command hangs (such as lsmcode, lsvpd, snap) LIC code updated. None. On i5 systems, added support for booting from a boot device attached to an IOP-less adapter. New function. None. Added support for the installation of two copies of the AIX operating system on one hard file. This includes support in the SMS menus for booting from either one. New function. None.
