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

Farther down on the page, note the Fixed component name which is important. In this
example it is VM CP shown near the bottom of Figure 5-6.
Figure 5-6 Web page for APAR VM64670
At the bottom of the page the Applicable component levels section shows that PTF UM32811
is available for z/VM 6.1. Before getting that PTF, you may want to be sure that it has not
already been applied.
5.4.2 Determining if a PTF has been applied
Check to make sure the PTF has not previously been applied. In this example it is known that
the PTF is UM32811 and the component is VM CP.
► Because the description of the PTF cites a component name of “VM CP”, the component
CP is used in the following command.
► Use the SERVICE command to query whether the PTF has been applied:
==> service cp status um32811
VMFSRV2760I SERVICE processing started
VMFSRV1227I UM32811 is not received or applied to CP (6VMCPR10%CP)
VMFSRV2760I SERVICE processing completed successfully
This shows that PTF UM32811 has not been applied. The sections that follow describe how
to obtain and apply it.
