Re: applying VM RSU maint - CPLEVEL
Don't do the manual commands. Instead attach the tape to maint, define stor to at least 64 meg and enter the command SERVICE ALL. After the service has been applied, enter PUT2PROD ALL. These 2 commands do all necessary things.

Re: PERFSVM cleanup
Hi Kris, Thanks for your reply...but, I didn't see your execs. Did you forget to attach them? I guess the CONLOG and HISTLOG files get cleaned up by some other process since I did see them specify in the FCONX $PROFILE file on PERFSVM's 191 disk.

Re: applying VM RSU maint - CPLEVEL
The native command VMFPSU seems right. Did you map the RSU, maybe the RSU is multivolume and the tape mounted was not the one with CP service. To map the RSU, use VMFINS INSTALL INFO (NOMEMO after which you'll find a VMFINS PRODLIST on yor A-disk. 2007/8/15, Mark Pace [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On 8/15/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Don't do the manual commands.

There is a PTF which will stop PUT2PROD from taking down the TCPIP stack.
