RSU Warning

If applying a Tivoli ADSM for VM RSU (Recommended Service Upgrade) go to the instructions in Appendix A, “Applying an RSU Tape for Tivoli ADSM for VM” on page 36. You will return to a step in this chapter as specified in that appendix.

This section of the Program Directory contains the procedure to install CORrective service to Tivoli ADSM for VM. VMSES/E is used to install service for Tivoli ADSM for VM.

To become more familiar with service using VMSES/E, you should read the introductory chapters in the VMSES/E Introduction and Reference. This manual also contains the command syntax for the VMSES/E commands listed in the procedure.

Note: Each step of the servicing instructions must be followed. Do not skip any step unless directed to do so. All instructions showing accessing of disks assume the use of default minidisk addresses. If different minidisk addresses are used, or if using a shared file system, change the instructions appropriately.

7.1 VMSES/E Service Process Overview

The following is a brief description of the main steps in servicing Tivoli ADSM for VM using VMSES/E.

Setup Environment

Access the software inventory disk. Use VMFSETUP command to establish the correct minidisk access order.

Merge Service

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

Receive Service

The VMFREC command receives service from the delivery media and places it on the DELTA disk.

Apply 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.

Reapply Local Service (if applicable)

All local service (mods) must be entered into the software inventory to allow VMSES/E to track the changes and build them into the system. Refer to Chapter 7 in the VM/ESA Service Guide for this procedure.
