Chapter 5. Servicing z/VM

This chapter describes how to apply the two main types of service:

򐂰 A Recommended Service Upgrade (RSU), which is analogous to a Service Pack.

򐂰 A Programming Temporary Fix (PTF), which is analogous to a bug fix.

The processes to install these types of service are basically the same.

The application of corrective service to z/VM is covered in two manuals:

򐂰 z/VM V6.1 Guide for Automated Installation and Service (see Part 4), on the web at:

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/hcsk2c00.pdf

򐂰 z/VM Service Guide, Version 6, Release 1, on the web at:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/hcsf1c00.pdf

These manuals are much more complete than this chapter. You might consider using these

first, rather than this chapter, or you should certainly use them as references.

VMSES/E is a component of z/VM that provides the SERVICE and PUT2PROD EXECs. The

SERVICE EXEC:

򐂰 Installs an RSU or applies CORrective service for z/VM components, features, or

products.

򐂰 Displays either the RSU level of the component specified or whether a particular PTF or

APAR has been applied (when used with STATUS).

򐂰 Creates PTF bitmap files (when used with BITMAP).

When SERVICE is successfully completed, the PUT2PROD EXEC places the z/VM

components, features, or products that are installed on the z/VM System deliverable, and

were serviced, into production. A good website to start at is:

http://www.vm.ibm.com/service/

Important: When applying service, there is always a chance that you may want to back it

out. It is recommended that you have an up-to-date backup of your system before starting

this section.
