Two fixes that were deferred in earlier levels are concurrent in this level:

1.  In firmware level SF230_150, there was a deferred fix that affects all p5 and i5 systems: 

HIPER:  The initialization settings of the memory buffers were changed to eliminate spurious checkstops that were causing system and partition crashes. 

In SF230_156, this fix is CONCURRENT. 

2.  In firmware level SF230_153 (which is also part of ECA 823), there was a deferred fix that affects model 59x systems: 

HIPER:  The hardware initialization settings were changed to fix an incorrect timeout setting in the non-cacheable unit (NCU). The current settings may cause a system checkstop, which could result in a system or partition crash.  This is also known as the  "EMQ hang" problem. 

In SF230_156, this fix is CONCURRENT.  Also, the recovery time for the EMQ hang was improved to benefit HACMP configurations. 
 

System firmware changes that affect all p5 and i5 systems:

• HIPER:  Fixed a firmware problem that caused the system to interpret a machine condition as requiring special attention handling, where no special attention existed. This could result in a system checkstop (with error codes B181F647 and B110F139).  This problem is also known as the "master attention alone" issue.

• DEFERRED and HIPER:  A potential server checkstop issue exists in clusters using p5 models p575, p590, and p595, when these models are used to execute compute-intensive applications tuned with the November Power5 Fortran compiler.  Clusters executing applications that are compiled for optimal performance by utilizing the software pre-fetch function are exposed to a server checkstop (B1xxE500). Hardware initialization settings were changed to fix this problem and  the performance tools modified to take these new settings into account.
• HIPER  On systems with a high performance switch (HPS) network adapter installed, fixed a problem that caused a checkstop when memory was moved from a partition that did not own an HPS network adapter. problem was fixed that prevented I/O towers from being concurrently added to i5 systems.

Attention: An IPL is required to activate a deferred fix, the system must be powered off via the HMC, (i.e. HMC state=Power OFF) and then powered back on.
