This subset contains service recommendation information for z/VM
VERSION 7, RELEASE 3 MODIFICATION 0 specific to the installation of

Installation Information

The Following Information is for Installation Information: 1. 23/03/29 Updated Instructions for Installing RSU 7302 (Level 2301) Update: An APAR was opened, VM66680, to correct the SERVICE ... STATUS errors. PTF UM90258 that fixes this APAR is now available. BEFORE you install RSU 7302 you should order PTF UM90258 and install it. You can then install RSU 7302 as you normally would. This is the original problem description and work around: There is a problem that is triggered when you run SERVICE ALL <fn> for an RSU or for CORrective service where there is service for multiple components in one service envelope. The service is installed correctly and will be put into production correctly but the status records will be corrupted. For this RSU, the records for CP, DIRMAINT and VMHCD will be corrupted. To avoid this corruption, you should install the service one component at a time by following these instructions: 1. Log on to MAINT730 2. Enter: SERVICE VMSES <rsu_envelope_name> 3. Enter: SERVICE CP <rsu_envelope_name> 4. Enter: SERVICE DIRM <rsu_envelope_name> 5. Enter: SERVICE VMHCD <rsu_envelope_name> You can then proceed with your normal service testing and, when you are ready, you can run PUT2PROD as you normally would. If you already installed RSU 7302 (or you forget and run SERVICE ALL) you can correct the status records by doing the following commands: 1. Log on to MAINT730 2. Enter: SERVICE CP BUILD 3. Enter: SERVICE DIRM BUILD 4. Enter: SERVICE VMHCD BUILD 5. If you had already run PUT2PROD, then you need to run it again now: PUT2PROD If you had already IPLed your system to pick up the new CPLOAD MODULE, you do not need to IPL your system again. 6. If you had not run PUT2PROD, you can run PUT2PROD and IPL as you normally would to complete your service installation. SERVICE CP STATUS ALLAPARS (or status for any individual APAR or PTF) should show you the correct status (Received, Applied, Built and/or Production)
