Prerequisites

Lotus Domino 6.5.5 Fix Pack 3 requires Domino 6.5.5, 6.5.5 FP1, or 6.5.5 FP2.
Domino 6.5.5 FP3 may be installed on Global English or Global English + Language Pack.

Who should install Domino 6.5.5 FP3
Administrators need to take into account several things when deciding whether to install a fix pack. Many customers have applied one or more hot fixes to a particular release of Domino. In order to apply the latest fix pack, previously applied hot fixes must be uninstalled prior to installing the fix pack. Fix packs may or may not include fixes that were previously made available as hot fixes. Assessing the relative importance of applied hot fixes versus applying a new fix pack is a decision that must be made by each administrator. Hot fixes for 6.5.5, 6.5.5 FP1 or 6.5.5 FP2 should not be applied to 6.5.5 FP3.

To find out what fixes are included in each fix pack, check the Lotus developerWorks Web site:
Domino / Notes Fix List.

To determine whether any hot fixes are currently installed on your system for 6.5.5, use the following i5/OS CL command: DSPPTF LICPGM(5733L65) RLS(V6R5M5)

PTF SI23801 is Domino 6.5.5 Fix Pack 1 and FP65502 is Domino 6.5.5 Fix Pack2, and these PTFs do not need to be removed.

If 6.5.5 FP3 is needed but it does not include the fixes for any hotfixes that you already have applied, you should contact Lotus support prior to installing 6.5.5 FP3 to have a PMR created to request a new hotfix that can be applied to 6.5.5 FP3.

Also, consider later Maintenance Releases, if available. Generally, Maintenance Releases include fixes introduced both in prior Maintenance Releases and in earlier fix packs. You should regularly upgrade with each Maintenance Release, as Maintenance Releases contain fixes and enhancements to the product not included in the fix packs.


Preparing to Install 6.5.5 FP3 - Remove any 6.5.5 Hot Fixes
Domino 6.5.5 FP3 can only be installed on systems running Domino 6.5.5, 6.5.5 FP1 or 6.5.5 FP2. You can use the DSPSFWRSC command to verify Domino for i5/OS 6.5.5 is installed - Product 5733L65 option 15.

If any Domino 6.5.5 hot fixes are applied, they must be removed before applying the 6.5.5 FP3 PTF. The hot fixes must be removed in reverse order of install order. In other words, the last hot fix installed must be removed first, and so on.

Remember to end all Domino servers prior to removing any hot fix PTFs.

To determine whether any hot fixes are currently installed on your system for 6.5.5, use the following i5/OS CL command:
DSPPTF LICPGM(5733L65) RLS(V6R5M5)
