The Virtualization Cookbook for SLES 10 SP2 - z/VM - IBM

5.1.2 Downloading the service files
In this example, the service files are staged on a desktop machine then copied to z/VM with
FTP.
► Download the files to your desktop or another staging system. This example has two files:
the SHIPTFSS file is for the PSP bucket and the SHIPRSU1 file is for the RSU.
► FTP the file to the MAINT 500 disk. Following is an example of FTPing from a DOS session:
C:\Downloads>ftp 9.60.18.249
User (9.60.18.249:(none)): maint
Password:
ftp> cd maint.500
...
ftp> bin
...
ftp> quote site fix 1024
...
ftp> put S9338801.shiptfss
...
ftp> put S9338766.shiprsu1
...
ftp> quit
► Logon to MAINT. Access the MAINT 500 disk as file mode C. Query the disks:
==> acc 500 c
DMSACC724I 500 replaces C (2CC)
==> q disk
LABEL VDEV M STAT CYL TYPE BLKSZ FILES BLKS USED-(%) BLKS LEFT BLK TOTAL
MNT191 191 A R/W 175 3390 4096 41 214-01 31286 31500
MNT5E5 5E5 B R/W 9 3390 4096 131 1290-80 330 1620
MNT500 500 C R/W 600 3390 4096 3 38497-36 69503 108000
MNT51D 51D D R/W 26 3390 4096 305 1574-34 3106 4680
MNT190 190 S R/O 100 3390 4096 691 14921-83 3079 18000
MNT19E 19E Y/S R/O 250 3390 4096 1021 28225-63 16775 45000
► Deterse the files.
==> deterse s9338801 shiptfss c = servlink =
==> deterse s9338766 shiprsu1 c = servlink =
Usually this step should succeed. However, very large RSUs can fill up the MAINT 500 disk
either on the FTP or the DETERSE steps. For example, you may get the error on the DETERSE
step:
DMSERD107S Disk C(500) is full
No traceback - not enough CTL storage
If this occurs, an extra step of creating a new disk is necessary.
5.1.3 Creating a new MAINT minidisk
Important: Normally, this step is not necessary. Some RSUs can be so large that they will
not fit on the MAINT 500 minidisk. This is the case with the stacked RSU 5405 for z/VM 5.4.
