AIX 5.2 : High impact/highly pervasive (2008.05.15) APAR IZ21079

2008-05-15

Dear all:
      IZ21079 is a high impact /highly pervasive patch,the symptom is like
asbelow:
      AIX crashed,from dump analysis,the content of 1  byte  low  memory
wasincorrect,looks like 1 byte memory hardware error.But can not see any
related error entry.And if crashed serveral times,the address of memory byte
incorrect is different.
      We have seen cases in field which cause long pending.Until now,IBM
have not announced similar patch on AIX 5.3.
      Since it is included in 5200-10-05,it is not already installed in
almost all 5.2 system.
      If customer have plan to install AIX 5.2 ML,recommend him  to upgrade
to 5.2-10-05 to include IZ21079.
