[gpfsug-discuss] Latest recommended 4.2 efix?

[IBM Spectrum Scale]

There isn't a "recommended" efix as such.  Generally, fixes go into the
next ptf so that they go through a test cycle.  If a customer hits a
serious issue that cannot wait for the next ptf, they can request an efix
be built, but since efixes do not get the same level of rigorous testing as
a ptf, they are not generally recommended unless you report an issue and
service determines you need it.

To address your other questions:
   We are currently up to efix3 on 4.2.3.4
   We don't announce PTF dates, because they depend upon the testing;
   however, you can see that we generally release a PTF roughly every 6
   weeks and I believe ptf4 was out on 8/24

Hi Everyone,

What’s the latest recommended efix release for 4.2.3.4?

I’m working on testing a 4.1 to 4.2 migration and was reminded today of
some fun bugs in 4.2.3.4 for which I think there are efixes. Alternatively,
any word on a 4.2.3.5 release date?

-Aaron
