Can I do a run service on the RSU and run service on the bucket tape and do 1
PUT2PROD?
Or Do I need to do a PUT2PROD after the run service on the RSU and another
PUT2PROD after the run service on the bucket tape?
Running z/VM 5.4.

Alan,
It would be best to run SERVICE as many times as you have RSU and COR
tapes, then run one PUT2PROD.
If you run PUT2PROD more than once you take the chance of losing your last
resort backup on CF3 of your before service CP Module.
If you can it also would be best to IPL from CF2 to test
Alan,
To my best of knowledge and my experience, each time you do the PUT2PROD,
it over writes what's in place. So, if your intention is have multiple
Service and then do a put2prod, it's okay. But, I recommend, doing a
service and then do put2prod each time - of course, depending on the
Correction - RSU is cumulative - so the latest one would cover all the
previous, unless you are doing PTFS. Sorry for the mistake.

Tom

It's great to see the VM Workshop is connecting some folks that haven't
seen or heard from each other in a while. That's how this got started. It

What's the point of putting 1 file in a SFS if you can't share it anyway???
Put it on a minidisk. 1 cyl is fine.
And maybe when I have SSI , I can actually share it.

YES YES YES. (Yes in that I agree with Marcy).
When I installed RMSMASTR I was concerned about what might happen to my config
statements when the next z/VM release, or even maintenance, rolled around.
Would IBM alter the config file because an RMS developer wanted to include a
new feature
Because my same VM can run on different CPU I created five MACLIBs where the
filename is the CPUID : 12342097 MACLIB. Each time I xautolog RMSMASTR the
profile exec extracts the files related to the correponding CPU. That way my
source files are secured in to my maclibs. I did that for TCPIP,

No z/OS vols here. They aren't even on that same box anymore let alone genned
for VM lpars to get at them. Good security practice I believe ;) So there's
not anything I can offline that isn't already. We could lump various VM
systems together, but then the performance guys will get mad
You can. I guess that is an advantage... very minimally though.
Authorization to mount comes out of our tape product and its ESM rather than
the config file so it changes very, very rarely (wait, shouldn't auth come
from the ESM anyway and not its own private auth file :) . The device
They have updated it to allow it to not die when it finds a device that doesn't

How did you request a 3XL, Bill? The biggest choice offered in the pull-down
was 2XL I registered yesterday, so I can't do it in my registration. I'll
also send a copy of this post directly to Len Diegel in hopes he will see it in
time and can accommodate me.
Len, if possible I'd like a 4XL
I think we can do that
