Hi Matt,

RSU6304 is the RSU number, not the reported service level. In this case the 4th 
RSU for zVM 6.3. But indeed RSU6304 is actually the 1501 RSU level and that's 
the most current one.

Refer to http://www.vm.ibm.com/service/rsu/ to find the latest RSU numbers. You 
can then follow through to the RSU seervice levels for the various zVM versions.

You still might want to order the 1501 RSU from shopz. Not for the current RSU 
level (you already have that one) but because you can get additional PTFs not 
found in the RSU. I recently got the 1501 RSU and an additional PTF envelope as 
well.

Met vriendelijke groet/With kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Berry van Sleeuwen

My upgrade/install of 6.3 from 6.1 is complete, first time yea!. Checking on 
the service level I noticed that the new 6.3 system is at 1501 but my 6.3 
install DVD states 6.3 with RSU6304. So I though the 6304 service would have 
gone on with the install? Question is, do I try to install the service off the 
DVD or pull from shop zseries? I have searched all over for instructions on how 
to install the service from the DVD and can't find it anywhere, any help there? 
thanks Matt

Let me try to teach you to fish.  From VM:
1. QUERY ACCESSED C
2. You will see DIR or a virtual device number (<vaddr>) in the Vdev column.
3. If it says DIR, copy the SFS directory name in its entirety and go to step 5.
4. CP QUERY MDISK <vaddr>.  Concatenate the last two tokens with a "." in 
between.
5. In your FTP session, "CD xxxxxx", where xxxxxx is what you came up with in 
step 3 or 4.


Example 1:  SFS
q accessed b
Mode  Stat     Files  Vdev  Label/Directory
B      R/W       573  DIR   GPLSRV2:ALTMARKA.TOOLS
Ready;

In the above case, I would  "cd gplsrv2:altmarka.tools".  If I am logged into 
FTP as ALTMARKA, then I can "cd gplsrv2:.tools", just as I could do with the 
ACCESS command in CMS.

Example 2: Minidisk
q accessed d
Mode  Stat     Files  Vdev  Label/Directory
D      R/O       893  121   TCP592
Ready;

q mdisk 121
TargetID Tdev OwnerID  Odev
ALTMARKA 0121 TCPMAINT 0592
Ready;

In this example, I have virtual device 121.  If I try to "cd altmarka.121", it 
will fail since I do not have a 121 mindisk in my directory.  This is a disk I 
VMLINKed after I logged on.  QUERY MDISK 121 shows me it is really TCPMAINT's 
592 disk.  So "cd tcpmaint.592" is what works.

If the LINK to that disk had been in my CP directory entry, then I could have 
done a "cd altmarka.121".
