5. To load the new CP load module, use the SHUTDOWN REIPL command. When your
system comes back up, it should be at the new CP service level, in this example 0903:
==> shutdown reipl iplparms cons=sysc
HCPSHU960I System shutdown may be delayed for up to 330 seconds
Ready; T=0.01/0.01 11:12:32
6. After the system comes back up in a few minutes, start a new 3270 session and log on as
MAINT.
7. Run the QUERY CPLEVEL command again:
==> q cplevel
z/VM Version 6 Release 1.0, service level 1002 (64-bit)
Generated at 09/16/10 15:54:07 EDT

This shows that the new CP load module is now being used, and that the service level is the
second RSU in the year 2010.
5.2 PTFs for the zEnterprise 196
In September of 2010, a new mainframe became available: the zEnterprise 196. See the
following website for a list of the PMRs that apply to it:
http://www.vm.ibm.com/service/vmreqze.html
This web page also includes a link to the Preventative Service Planning (PSP) bucket for
z/VM on the zEnterprise 196. The PSP bucket should always contain all the latest service
information for z/VM on the z196.
Table 5-1 shows a summary of the APARS for z/VM V6.1.
Table 5-1 z/VM V6.1 APARs for the zEnterprise 196
Important: This list was correct at the time of the writing of this book in late 2010. It could
change, so refer to the previous web page to confirm. Also, it is likely that all of the PTFs
associated with these APARs will be rolled into the first RSU of 2011. So if you are up to
service level 1101 or later, you can verify that the PTFs are applied with the steps shown in
5.2.3, “Verifying that the zEnterprise 196 service is applied” on page 86.
