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. <br>
To take advantage of the new features, you may need to create a new 3.5
MDT Bundle and update your Bare Metal Servers to Tivoli Provisioning Manager
for OS Deployment 7.1.1 Fixpack 16. <br>
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><font size=3>
