Chapter 5. Servicing z/VM 75

First determine whether your system needs service. Use the QUERY CPLEVEL command:

==> q cplevel

z/VM Version 6 Release 1.0, service level 0901 (64-bit)

Generated at 09/11/09 16:51:48 EDT

IPL at 08/31/10 08:44:19 EDT

The

service level (or RSU) is a 4-digit field composed of two segments, each consisting of two

digits. The first two digits represent the last two digits of the year and the second two digits

represent the sequential RSU level within that year. Some examples are 0903RSU and

1002RSU. With 0903, the first two digits in the level, 09, represent the last two digits of the

year 2009 and the 03 represents the third RSU service level of that year. Therefore, the 0903

is the third RSU issued in 2009. RSU 1002 would be the second RSU issued in 2010.

The overall steps in applying an RSU are as follow:

򐂰 “Getting service from the Internet” on page 75

򐂰 “Downloading the service files” on page 76

򐂰 “Creating a new MAINT minidisk” on page 77 (not usually required)

򐂰 “Receiving, applying, and building the service” on page 78

򐂰 “Putting the service into production” on page 81

5.1.1 Getting service from the Internet

An RSU is obtained by its PTF number. The PTF for the most current RSU is of the form

UM97xyz, where xyz is the z/VM version-release-modification level. So for z/VM V6.1, the

RSU would be UM97610.

With ShopzSeries, knowing the PTF number is not necessary. If you know you want the latest

RSU, you can get it directly, based on the version of z/VM you are running.

Perform the following steps (note that these same steps are documented with some window

shots in 5.4, “Applying a PTF” on page 88):

1. Point a web browser to the z/VM Service page:

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

2. Click IBM ShopzSeries under the IBM Support Portals section.

3. Click the link Sign In for registered users. If you have a user ID and password, use that.

If you do not, click the link New user registration and fill out the form to create an ID and

password. You must have your IBM customer number.

4. Click the link Create new software orders at the top.

5. The My Orders page should show. Under the Package Category section, click z/VM -

Service and also choose RSU recommended service in the drop-down menu. Click

Continue.

6. There will be five windows of forms that are hopefully self-explanatory. On window 3 of 5,

choose the radio button that is applicable to your version of z/VM. In this example it was

z/VM Version 6.1.0 Stacked 6103RSU (PTF UM97610).

7. On window 4 of 5 choose Internet as the delivery mechanism.

8. On window 5 of 5, complete the form and click Submit.

9. In a few minutes, you should get two e-mails, one for the core RSU and one for the PSP

bucket (additional fixes that may have come out after the RSU).
