From the Plan your DVD Installation part of the Installation Guide: Installation will install the RSU shipped as part of the z/VM product DVD. If additional service is required, install the additional service after your initial installation is complete. And if you look at http://www.vm.ibm.com/service/rsu/stk630.html, you will see that RSU6304 contains service level 1501. RSUs are containers that hold service level upgrades.

Re: zVM/Linux Upgrade
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.

Re: zVM/Linux Upgrade
Is there a way to get a copy of the 'user direct' to my desk top? When I ftp to zvm I sign on with the maint id, that brings me to maint.191 disk. User direct is located on C1. As you can tell a newbie to vm here.

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 xx, where xx 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.
