Alan: Building a second level machine is very easy and then you can apply service there and pull of the module to first level.
To quickly build a second level system that looks like the first level define a 'G' class userid, 2 or 3 minidisks starting at cyl one to ensure no duplicate volid with first level. DDR the volumes on the fly. You will lose the last cyl but that is generally acceptable. After DDRs are complete, log on and IPL VM system residence volume. You will get a lot of error messages but for your let service test just do what you need to bypass them, do your service, pull of the module and bring it down to fist level. Then shutdown the second level system, blow it away and keep it for another quick test of something.

I actually did not want to impact any of the production or test minidisks just yet. I wanted to just extract the module. If SERVICE is the only way, then I think I'll wait until we go to 6.3 (in a few months). -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Bruce Hayden Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2014 9:12 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: ptf question When you run SERVICE, *only* the "test" build disks are modified, not the production disks. For Perfkit, this is the 6VMPTK20 200 disk. (PERFSVM 201 is the production disk.) So, just run SERVICE against the servlink file and then the updated module will be on 6VMPTK20 200. In PERFSVM, you can make a temporary change to the PROFILE EXEC to access the 200 disk instead of the 201 disk. When you restart it, it will be using the updated code instead of the production code. Once you are able to run PUT2PROD, remove the PROFILE EXEC change also. On Thu, Jan 2, 2014 at 8:42 AM, Levy, Alan <al...@doitt.nyc.gov> wrote: > I am running 6.2 SSI w/4 members.
