I.  SET OF FIXES IN FIXPACK LEVEL 8
====================================

The following official fixes (APARS) are contained in the IBM VideoCharger Server
for AIX Version 8.2 - Fixpack 8: 


IR54805: TOLERATE NAT OF THE SERVER IP ADDR

New feature for VideoCharger server and client to tolerate network 
address translation (NAT) of the server IP address


IR55136: Newly hinted MPEG4-samples


IR55136: Fix for VideoHub crashing on asset delete


IR55136: Running "ls" command while logged into vip does not list


IR55136: Unable to HTTP stream videos


IR55136: Update modules not to directly access errno


The following previous fixes are also included in Fixpack 8.

Fixpack 4
---------

APAR: IR52872 Dex stops responding due to thread leak
 
Sometime after multiple streams have been started repeatedly, the dex
will stop responding.  This is due to a thread leak in the dex that
gets progressively worse over time.  This leak is now fixed


Fixpack 3
---------

APAR: IR52823 FIXPACK 3 FOR VIDEOCHARGER SERVER ON AIX VERSION 8.2 

Applying this APAR will bring the VideoCharger 8.2 server on AIX
up to the equivalent level as the VideoCharger 8.2 server on Linux
	 

II.  INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPGRADE
===================================================

(1) If your VideoCharger Server for AIX 8.2.0 is at fixpack 7 then download
"vc82fixpack8.tar".

If your VideoCharger Server for AIX 8.2.0 is at any other level than fixpack 7 
then download "vc82fixpack8full.tar".

If you are not sure of your fixpack level run the command
"lslpp -L | grep avs.de.rte"
If you see "avs.de.rte      8.2.3.1" then you are at fixpack 7 and can
use vc82fixpack8.tar to upgrade.  For any other version use vc82fixpack8full.tar

(2) Run the command "tar -xvf vc82fixpack8.tar" or "tar -xvf vc82fixpack8full.tar" 
to extract all of the filesets. 

(3) While logged in as user 'root', stop the VideoCharger Server by using the 
command "stopsrc -cg vs".  Type the command "lssrc -g vs" to verify 
that all the processes have stopped.

(4)Apply the updates using the command "smitty update_all".
For "INPUT device / directory for software" specify the 
directory in which you untared the files in step (2) above.
        
(5) On the "Update Currently Installed Software to Latest Level" panel,
press the 'enter' key to start the installation program.    

(6) After installation has completed successfully restart the VideoCharger
server by using the command "startsrc -g vs" at the command prompt.
