Appendix A. Applying an RSU Tape for Tivoli ADSM for VM

Note

You should first read through the RSU hard copy memo contained with the tape before continuing with these instructions.

The RSU Tape is structured to install all PTFs included on the tape plus the tape files containing the preapplied service and prebuilt objects. All PTF-related files are loaded to the DELTA disk. The tape file containing the preapplied service, i.e. containing the results of VMFAPPLY, is loaded to the alternate APPLY disk and the contents of the tape files containing prebuilt objects are loaded to the appropriate build disks.

Points to consider about using the Product Service Upgrade procedure are:

This process will not alter any of your tailored flat files (files serviced full part replacement only) in any way.

Planning must be done (such as determining disk sizes, and determining what service, if any, on your existing system is not contained on the RSU Tape) prior to actually loading the service from the RSU Tape. These tasks will be discussed.

The following outline is an overview of what tasks need to be performed during the Preventive Service procedure (PSU) using the RSU tape:

Prepare System

In this task, you will receive the documentation contained on the RSU Tape and determine the DASD required to install the RSU Tape.

Merge Service

Use the VMFMRDSK command to clear the alternate APPLY disk before receiving the RSU Tape. This allows you to easily remove the new service if a serious problem is found.

Receive Service

The VMFINS command receives service from the RSU Tape and places it on the DELTA disk.

Apply Additional Service

The VMFAPPLY command updates the version vector table (VVT), which identifies the service level of all the serviced parts. In addition, AUX files are generated from the VVT for parts that require them. These steps are used to reapply service that was not contained on the RSU tape that was already installed for Tivoli ADSM for VM.

Reapplying Local Modifications (if applicable)

All local modifications must be entered into the software inventory to allow VMSES/E to track the changes and build them into the system.
