Re: 5.4 Install curiosity
Order the latest RSU for electronic delivery from IBM. Unless something has changed recently, the RSU is not on the DVD.
Re: 5.4 Install curiosity
To clarify... when that RSU arrives, load it onto the MAINT 500 disk. If you transfer it to the 500 disk from an internet delivery (rather than tape), be sure to specify the download arguments as documented at that site, and then use the DETERSE command to reformat it so that the VMSES/E commands will work against it.

Re: 5.4 Install curiosity
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I have a DVD labeled z/VM Stacked Recommended Service Upgrade 5402. The installation materials, specifically Guide for Automated Installation and Service, include the following process in the INSTDVD instructions: (Embedded image moved to file: pic06422.jpg) Am I confused about what this process is doing?

Re: 5.4 Install curiosity
(Embedded image moved to file: pic06422.jpg) Am I confused about what this process is doing? Your screen shot didn't make it, but I'm guessing it's applying something that looks like an RSU. As I said, things may have been changed recently. The DVD I got for 5.4 did not have the RSU on it, and did not include the RSU in the order, so I hit a couple of bugs that were fixed in the RSU the hard way. IBM may also have remastered the disk with at least the initial 5.4 RSU applied. Would make sense if they did. In any case, ordering the latest RSU and applying it will fix the original problem. VMSES is smart enough to do nothing if the service is already applied. -- db
Re: 5.4 Install curiosity
Steve, From the notes I have taken installing 5.4: Start INSTDVD, it runs for up to two hours, then ... 4. You are asked to place the system RSU in the drive. Insert the z/VM Stacked Recommended Service Upgrade 5401 DVD into the HMC DVD-ROM drive. 5. At the Integrated 3270 Console, type GO. You should see a messages of the form DVDLOAD: LOADING FILE CKD5000x IMAGE *. This step should take two to four minutes. 6. Finally, you should see the message HCPIDV8329I INSTDVD EXEC ENDED SUCCESSFULLY. So do you remember plugging in the 2nd DVD (RSU), typing GO and seeing those messages?

Re: 5.4 Install curiosity
To the best of my knowledge 'YES'. I do know I put the DVD in the drive, and when the lights quit flashing entered go. I though I verified all the messages, but as I said originally, I am human, ie 'to err is human'!
