Shut4 20 Min Hang on Shutdown due to tcpsip not Terminating
If the Support Tools Manager (STM) is not shutdown prior to doing a =SHUTDOWN, then the =SHUTDOWN will
pause for 5 minutes or longer between the Shut4 and Shut6 messages, for example:
Shutdown of system processes begins (Shut 4)
/*5 minute or longer pause */
Shutdown of operating system complete. (Shut 6)
To avoid this delay, shutdown STM before the network is stopped by entering the stmshut command in cstm.
cstm
cstm>stmshut
cstm>exit
:nscontrol stop
:netcontrol stop
=SHUTDOWN

SAMBA I job fails when trying to install on top of newer SAMBA version
If you are updating to C.70.03 on a system where Samba 2.2.8a has been previously installed, the Samba
2.0.7 I00IAMBA installation job (launched as part of the C.70.03 update process) may fail due to product
account structure differences. Simply ignore the failure and continue with the PowerPatch update process so
that the SMBMXG3B and SMBMXR5B Samba patches will be installed. To do this, edit the I00IAMBA installation
jjob to contain only the JOB and EOJ lines. Then resume the update as per the System Software Maintenance
Manual.
