This release is an update of the existing site. No immediate actions are
required and the current product will continue to function normally. Some
changes were made to existing features and to the User Interface. </font>

create a new 3.3 MDT Bundle by using Fixlet 46 in the site. To use the
new features, update your Bare Metal Servers to Tivoli Provisioning Manager
for OS Deployment 7.1.1 Fixpack 14. Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS
Deployment can be downloaded from FixCentral. In airgapped or proxy
environments, you may need to cache files on the IBM Endpoint Manager
Server and/or the console.</font>
