Appendix C. Obtain the Latest Preventive Service Planning Information
You need the most recent cumulative package of the Preventive Service Planning Information. The IBM software support center updates this information regularly. It provides the most current information about conditions that could impede your software installation process.
There are multiple preventive service planning documents, categorized by topic. We recommend that you review at least the software installation document and the general document for the release of the operating system. The general document lists topics covered in additional preventive service planning information documents that you might want to order, if they apply to your system.
You can order the preventive service planning documents through electronic customer support:
