The CD that I have, is labeled " TME 10 NetView Version 5.1.1 Patch for UNIX
Revision B March 19, 1999." and has the number LK3T-3670-01. I was told that
the only difference between this one and the earlier one was the "Revision B
March 19, 1999" date. If you are unsure of what you have, I would re-order it
and get a new one.
What does yours say EXACTLY?

Subject: Re: Netview 5.1 vs 5.1.1
Hi All,
We would like to install the NV 5.1.1 Patch. Unfortunately (to our dismay), we
found that their is a problem with the NV for UNIX 5.1.1 patch dated Feb 12,
1999
(LKT3T-3670 -00).
According to Tivoli FAQ's there is another CD for this patch, dated March,1999.
We've definitely got the Release Notes for Feb,1999, however the CD's 'LKT'
number
or whatever it is called is, LK3T-3670-01.
Can anybody tell me wether this is the CD-ROM dated March 1999 and is it safe to
assume that this CD contains the correct patch? Any help in this matter will be
greatly appreciated.
TIA
Kind regards,
Lailaa
