| IV29921 | ILMT AGENT CANNOT BE INSTALLED ON HP-UX 11I V3 DUE TO 'HPVM-GUEST' CHANGE TO 'VIRTUALBASE' | License Metric Tool agent cannot be installed on HP-UX 11i v3 (September 2012). | Interim fix 4 |

| IV30409 | VMWARE AGENTS IN PENDING STATUS | If an invalid URL is defined or the VMware machine is incorrectly configured, the License Metric Tool server hangs when it attempts to connect to the machine, even though the timeout period was correctly configured. Such attempts of connection block the timer on which the VMware Connection task is running (Timer3). If the connection takes twice the amount of time that was defined as the timeout period, the connection thread is broken and the status of the VM manager is changed to Hard timeout - suspended. This status indicates that no further attempts of connection to the particular VM manager are made until its status is manually changed to Pending. | Interim fix 4 |
| IV31063 | INSTALLING TAD4D AGENTS VIA TCM WILL LEAVE 'YES' PROCESS COMMAND RUNNING EVEN AFTER THE AGENT IS INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY | Installation of License Metric Tool agents by using Tivoli® Configuration Manager leaves the yes process command running even after the agent is successfully installed and the process is manually ended after the installation. | Interim fix 4 |
| IV33106 | STATUS OPTION FOR TLM SCRIPT (/ETC/INIT.D/TLM) NOT IMPLEMENTED | The agent init script does not support the status option as required by the Linux Standard Base Core Specification 3.1. Additionally, the implementation of the stop option that should depend on PID files(/var/run/) is not valid. For more details, go to: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=swg1IV33106. | Interim fix 5 |
| IV32827 | DUPLICATE ROWS IN ADM.LINK MAY BLOCK PERIODIC CALCULATIONS | Duplicate rows in the ADM.LINK table might block essential periodic calculations.

For more details, go to: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/entdocview.wss?uid=swg1IV32585. | Interim fix 5 |

One of the steps of interim fix installation runs the SQL query that is related to granting the SYSCAT.ROLEAUTH authority. It was reported in APAR IV29154 that this step might fail when DB2® version 9.1 is used. To avoid the problem, upgrade DB2 at least to version 9.5.
