    *General fix*


  * This PTF includes a fix to enable HMC to use TLS 1.2 communication
    protocol with IBM cloud storage.  This is only a mandatory fix if
    you are using IBM Cloud Management Console for Power System (CMC)
    service. The PTF must be applied on every Power HMC where HMC cloud
    connector is enabled and data is pushed to CMC.
    To check if cloud connector is currently configured and active use
    the command: lssvc -s cloudconn.

    ** *Note: *This PTF needs to be re-installed after each additional
    service pack or PTF install of  V9R1M930 or earlier.
