88 z/VM and Linux on IBM System z: The Virtualization Cookbook for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0
This shows the controller is named DTCVSW1.
3. Use the NETSTAT command with the controller name to determine the maintenance of
the TCPIP MODULE:
==> netstat tcp dtcvsw1 level
VM TCP/IP Netstat Level 540 TCP/IP Server Name: DTCVSW1
IBM 2084; z/VM Version 5 Release 4.0, service level 0903 (64-bit), VM TCP/IP
Lev
el 540; RSU 0903 running TCPIP MODULE E2 dated 12/17/09 at 10:53
TCP/IP Module Load Address: 00C21000
4. This shows information about the TCPIP MODULE. Use the TCPSLVL command and the
complete file specification (TCPIP MODULE E in this example) to get more information. Of
particular interest is the latest APAR applied to TCTOOSD:
==> tcpslvl tcpip module e
DTCLVL3306I SLVL data obtained; file TCPIP SLVLDATA A created
==> x TCPIP SLVLDATA
SLVL TCPIP PK67610
...
SLVL TCTOOSD PK98608
...
5.4 Applying a PTF
You may determine that you need to apply a specific fix or PTF to your system. For example,
an Authorized Program Analysis Report (APAR), VM64670, was opened when Linux guests
were hanging intermittently. The summary of the APAR is as follows:
PROBLEM SUMMARY: LINUX USER HUNG BECAUSE SVPBK LOCK HELD
USERS AFFECTED: All users of z/VM running Linux guests.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Linux guests may become hung due to a problem in managing a
lock word. This problem is timing-related and may occur intermittently.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION: Lock word processing in HCPWED is updated to properly handle
all possible states of the lock.
The APAR was assigned the following Programming Temporary Fix (PTF) numbers for each
of the following z/VM releases:
z/VM V5.3 UM32809
z/VM V5.4 UM32810
z/VM V6.1 UM32811
So for z/VM V6.1, you want to apply PTF UM32811. The next section shows how to perform
that task.
