  • 1.  Is it safe to delete 5770-UME from IBM i 7.5 if you are current on PTFs?

    Posted 2 days ago

    5770-UME was needed for ESA (Electronic Service Agent).  When 7.6 came out it listed 5770-UME as no longer supported.  ESA on 7.6 does not use 5770-UME.

    I believe that 7.5 no longer uses 5770-UME providing you have PTF's SJ05859, SJ06007.  Note:  These PTFs do not appear on the 7.4 to 7.5 ptf cross reference.

    Hello,

    We have deleted this product sometimes back due to some certificate related vulnerability in our environment and the ESA still work. However i would suggest just disable it first and test the connectivity. 

    Please see this link regarding this service maintenance.

    By "disable it first and test the connectivity" did you mean ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*CIMOM) followed by SNDSRVRQS ACTION(*TEST)?

    I know there are some serious vulnerabilities with CIMOM installed but I cannot recall the particular CVEs involved.

    Fired up Run SQL Scripts and ran the following on all LPARs

    -- Are we on a 7.5 LPAR?
    SELECT RELEASE_LEVEL
      FROM QSYS2.SOFTWARE_PRODUCT_INFO
      WHERE PRODUCT_ID = '5770SS1' and PRODUCT_OPTION = '*BASE' and LOAD_ID = '5050'
      ;

    -- Do we have the PTFs to make 5770UME obsolete?
    select PTF_IDENTIFIER, PTF_LOADED_STATUS, PTF_STATUS_TIMESTAMP
    from qsys2.ptf_info
    where PTF_IDENTIFIER in('SJ05859' , 'SJ06007');
    stop;
    -- If we have those PTFs then remove 5770UME, as it's not supported on 7.6
    cl:ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*CIMOM);
    cl:SNDSRVRQS ACTION(*TEST);
    stop;
    cl: DLTLICPGM LICPGM(5770UME) OPTION(*ALL)
