Hello,
I have followed the suggested way to make copy root file system before applying service.

But we have couple of z/OS running with same version of OS level (example z/OS 1.8). In this we have test system, where we apply RSU and test it. We also have couple of production system with same OS level. In production system there might be changes in sub directories and Symbolic link.

So the problem is, If I just copy the root file system from test system to production system after applying service on test root file system, there might be a chances to loose some symbolic link and sub directories.

The solution which I can think of is, manually checking each of the production system and note all the sub directories and symbolic detail.

Is there any other way, which can reduce my lots of manual effort and make process easy.


Regards
Saurabh Khandelwal

How was your system originally installed? How was the last service
done? In paricular, is your root the original target or a copy?

As others have pointed out, you should never install service on the
running system. You should have a deployment plan for either rotating
among a set of target libraries or for cloning target libraries,
including Unix file systems.
