PM26772 resolves the following problem:

ERROR DESCRIPTION:?                                             
With the high availability (HA) Manager disabled, there is no   
flow of workload management data, so the available state for    
cluster members is not displayed. As a result, an exception is  
displayed. The purpose of the setUnavailable call is to         
prevent IIOP traffic, but it is not needed since workload       
management is turned off.                                       

LOCAL FIX:?                                                     
None                                                            

PROBLEM SUMMARY:?

USERS AFFECTED:
 All users of WebSphere Virtual Enterprise
who are using Version 6.1.1.2 and later

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Nodes cannot be placed into
maintenance mode when the HA
manager is disabled.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

When the high availability (HA) manager is
disabled, there is no flow of workload management data, so the
state of the cluster is not displayed as available. As a
result, an exception is displayed. The purpose of the
setUnavailable call is to prevent Internet Inter-ORB Protocol
(IIOP) traffic, but it is not needed since workload management
is turned off.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:?                                            
This fix will be included in the next available fix pack for    
WebSphere Virtual Enterprise.

Customers must be at V6.1.0.17 or newer of the Update Installer.?This can be checked by reviewing the level of the Update Installer in file <was_root>/updateinstaller/version.txt.

1) Copy  6.1.1.2-WS-WXDOP-IFPM26772.pak file directly to the maintenance directory

2) Shutdown WebSphere
Manually execute setupCmdLine.bat in Windows or . ./setupCmdLine.sh in Unix from the WebSphere instance that maintenance is being applied to.

3) Launch Update Installer

4) Enter the installation location of the WebSphere product you want to update.

5) Select the "Install maintenance package" operation.

6) Enter the file name of the maintenance package to install ( 6.1.1.2-WS-WXDOP-IFPM26772.pak file which was copied in the maintenance directory).  The V5.0 and V5.1 fix packs and fixes are unpacked as .jar files and should be unpacked into fixpacks or fixes directory.
