Hi, I did an oops. So to speak. I am running a z/VM 5R4.0 (service level 0801) system and downloaded the latest RSU and COR for it. In the fine tradition of measuring once and cutting twice, I put the COR on first which has some prerequisites that I believe are in the RSU. Oops. I ran the following: -SERVICE ALL COR_DOCS (against the COR documentation envelope) -VMFUPDAT SYSMEMO -SERVICE ALL COR_FILE (against the COR envelope)
It moved a bunch of stuff around and ultimately gave me: ST:VMFAPP2102I 19 of 19 PTFs processed ST:VMFAPP2105I VMFAPPLY processing completed unsuccessfully. ST: The Apply list HCPVM contains 26 PTFs. ST: 7 PTFs were already applied. ST: 9 PTFs passed validation. ST: 0 PTFs were included and passed validation. ST: 0 PTFs were excluded or require excluded PTFs. ST: 10 PTFs failed WN:VMFAPP2103W The Software Inventory has not been updated ...among other things. So I've hung myself on a SERVICE RESTART such that it wants me to fix that which I have hosed up by getting ahead of myself before moving on. Which I suppose I could do, but the RSU is really big and I guess I would have to be pulling pieces or go re-order the ones I need etc. It would be really nice at this point to just dump what I did and start over with the RSU. Or force through what was good on the COR, then apply the RSU, then reapply the COR. I _do_ have a full system backup, but it would sure be nice to not have to roll back any user's disks and then have to monkey them back around. I suppose I could restore it and clip it and then just grab MAINT's minidisks instead. Suggestions? Any gun/foot warnings I should be thinking about? Thanks.
