Domino for i5/OS: 6.5.6 Fixpack 1

Lotus Domino 6.5.6 Fix Pack 1 (FP1) for i5/OS provides fixes to address significant issues discovered in Domino 6.5.6. On iSeries, 6.5.6 FP1 is packaged and installed as PTF 5733L65 V6R5M6 FP65601.

This document describes how to plan and install Domino 6.5.6 FP1 for i5/OS. For additional information on Domino 6.5.6 FP1, see
Prerequisites
  • IBM Product 5733L65 V6R5M6 - Domino 6.5.6 for i5/OS
  • Domino for i5/OS 6.5.6 FP1 may be installed as one of the following:
    • Global English
    • Global English + Language Pack
Who should install Domino 6.5.6 FP1
Administrators need to take into account several things when deciding to install a Fix Pack:
  • See what fixes are included in each Fix Pack
    Check the fix listing available at the Fix List for Lotus Domino Release 6.5.6 Fix Pack 1.
  • Assess previously-applied hotfixes
    Many customers have applied one, or several, hotfixes to a particular release of Lotus Notes/Domino. In order to apply the latest Fix Pack, previously-applied hotfixes must be uninstalled prior to installing the Fix Pack. Fix Packs may, or may not, include fixes that were previously made available as hotfixes. Assessing the relative importance of applied hotfixes versus applying a new Fix Pack is a decision made by each Administrator. Review "Access previous-applied hotfixes" step for instruction on how to compare hotfixes on your system to fixes included in fix pack.
Assess previously-applied hotfixes
  1. Determine whether any hot fixes are currently installed on your system for 6.5.6.
    Use the i5/OS CL command:
    DSPPTF LICPGM(5733L65) RLS(V6R5M6)
  2. Determine if 6.5.6 hot fixes are included in 6.5.6 FP1.
    See Fix List for Lotus Domino Release 6.5.6 Fix Pack 1 for complete list.
  3. Fix Packs may or may not include fixes that were previously made available as hotfixes.
    If you have hot fixes (PTFs) that are not in 6.5.6 FP1, the Domino Administrator must assess the relative importance of applied hotfixes versus applying a new Fix Pack. Hot Fixes for 6.5.6 may not be applied to 6.5.6 FP1.

    If 6.5.6 FP1 is needed and current hot fixes are also required, you should contact Lotus support prior to installing 6.5.6 FP1 to have a PMR created to request a new hotfix that can be applied on 6.5.6 FP1.

    When it is time to install 6.5.6 FP1, proceed with "Install 6.5.6 FP1".
Install 6.5.6 FP1
  1. Remove any 6.5.6 hot fixes:
    Domino 6.5.6 FP1 can only be installed on systems running Domino for i5/OS (Product 5733L65 option 16). You may use the DSPSFWRSC command to verify Domino for i5/OS 6.5.6 is installed.

    If you have applied any Domino for i5/OS 6.5.6 hot fixes, they must be removed before applying this 6.5.6 FP1 PTF. Hot fixes must be removed in a specific order. The hot fixes should be removed in reverse order of install order. Example - the last hot fix installed, must be removed first.

    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 6.5.6, use the i5/OS CL command:
    DSPPTF LICPGM(5733L65) RLS(V6R5M6)

    To determine the order that the PTFs were installed, do the following:
    For each PTF listed:

    1. Choose option 5=Display PTF details
    2. Then, option 1. General information
    3. On the "General Information" screen, the "Optional part" equals "0016" for 6.5.6 SPRs.
    4. Write down the PTF number and Status date/time.

    If any 6.5.6 hot fixes are installed, you must remove each hot fix from the system before applying the 6.5.6 FP1 PTF. Using the Status date/time from previous step, remove PTFs starting with the most recent PTF installed towards the first PTF installed for the 6.5.6 release.

    Use the command:
    RMVPTF LICPGM(5733L65) SELECT(ptf-number) RMV(*PERM)

  2. Install 6.5.6 FP1
    1. Download the file C118VENh.EXE to a PC and extract the contents. The file is available from Download the IBM Lotus Domino 6.5.6 Fix Pack 1.
    2. Create a save file on the iSeries server.
      Note: You must have an i5/OS user profile in order to transfer the file to the i5/OS server. See your system administrator if you cannot proceed with this step.
      Sign on to the iSeries server with a profile that has command line capabilities and user class of *SECOFR. Use the following command to create a SAVF:
      CRTSAVF FILE(QGPL/QFP65601)
    3. Transfer the binary save file from the PC to the iSeries server.
      NOTE: These instructions assume the binary save file was extracted to the root directory of the PC's C:\ drive. You may need to adjust the instructions depending on the actual location of the file.
      On the PC, enter the following commands and responses, when prompted:
      ftp [your i5/OS system name or IP address]
      Name:[Enter your i5/OS user profile name and press enter]
      Password:[Enter your i5/OS password and press enter]
      ftp>binary
      Representation type is binary IMAGE.
      ftp>put [C]:\FP65601 QGPL/QFP65601
      ftp>quit
    4. End any active Domino servers.
      To end any active Domino servers, enter the following command:
      WRKDOMSVR
      Use option 6 (End Domino server) on this display to end all active Domino servers. Wait until all servers are ended.
    5. Load and apply the 6.5.6 FP1 PTF
      Enter the following commands to load and apply the PTF:
      LODPTF LICPGM(5733L65) DEV(*SAVF) SELECT(FP65601) SAVF(QGPL/QFP65601)
      APYPTF LICPGM(5733L65) SELECT(FP65601)
    6. Install any new hot fixes received from Lotus support for 6.5.6 FP1
    7. Restart Domino servers.
