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

5.2.3 Verifying the zEnterprise 196 is applied
A short REXX EXEC is written and run to verify that sevice for the zEnterprise 196 has been
applied:
==> type check910 exec
/* EXEC to check for z196 PTFs */
'service cp status VM64774'
'service cp status VM64798'
'service cp status VM64879'
'service cp status VM64881'
'service cp status VM64793'
'service perftk status VM64820'
'service cp status VM64814'
'service cms status VM64799'
'service cp status VM64818'
==> check910

Verify that all of the APARs are reported as received, applied, built and put into production.
5.3 Determining z/VM’s service level
Often you will want to be able to query more than just the service level. The following steps
were taken from the links CP Maintenance Levels and Virtual Switch TCP/IP Maintenance
Levels starting at the Web site:
http://www.vm.ibm.com/virtualnetwork/
Perform the following steps:
► Logon to TCPMAINT. Use the QUERY VMLAN command to determine the latest APAR applied:
==> cp query vmlan
VMLAN maintenance level:
Latest Service: VM64604
VMLAN MAC address assignment:
MACADDR Prefix: 020003
MACIDRANGE SYSTEM: 000001-FFFFFF
USER: 000000-000000
VMLAN default accounting status:
SYSTEM Accounting: OFF USER Accounting: OFF
VMLAN general activity:
PERSISTENT Limit: INFINITE Current: 1
TRANSIENT Limit: INFINITE Current: 0
This shows that the latest APAR applied is VM64604.
► The maintenance level of the TCP/IP stack is important to virtual networking. To
determine this, first get the active VSWITCH controller:
==> q vswitch
