I kind of think this might be an issue with the RSU not being loaded... But since a RSU DVD did not come with the system, and the downloaded RSU is not in the DVD RSU "format", I could not load the RSU DVD when prompted. So, my two questions/problems (the INSTVM problem and "missing" RSU) may be very related...At this point in the install (ready to run the INSTVM) the USER DIRECT has not been built yet so I have a very limited MAINT configuration (no 19e, 5e5, 500, etc.)

When you load the two DVDs onto an FTP server, the contents of the two get merged. I thought that when you install straight from the DVD it gives you the option to swap media. If nothing else, you could simply order the RSU electronically and put it there. I responded to IBM per RCF that skipping the step in the instructions kept me hunting for a while. It would be nice to simply point out how it works. But space on the summary is limited.
