George,

RSU0802 is from "5402RSU Stacked Product RSU -  December  12, 2008".

Does CP Query CPLOAD show the sysres from which you expected to IPL? 
(Again, a good reason to not use the save volser on different real device 
addresses, aka UCB's).  If not, don't blame the service, it would be time 
to figure out what went wrong in your maintenance process between your 
production and new DDR'ed 2nd level systems.

Can you provide the exact APAR or PTF number that you actually ordered?

To find the most current z/VM PTF, always search for APAR UM97vr0 (where 
v=version, and r=release).
For example for z/VM 5.4 you'd check out UM97540, and for z/VM 6.1 it 
would be UM97610.

The RSU display by Q CPLEVEL is updated with each RSU into HPCCPE.  You 
might want to enter:
VMFSETUP ZVM CP
then
FILELIST HCPCPE * *
See what's in the HCPCPR AUXVM file.  If it shows the PTF for RSU1002, 
then it's time to find out where the CPLOAD MODULE was written.
For clues, browse the " $VMFP2P  $MSGLOG  A1" file.  The most recent 
udpates are at the top, going back through history downward through the 
file.
Ours shows:
---<snip>---
ST:HCPZAC6730I CPRELEASE request for disk A completed. 
ST:VMFP2P2204I Linking MAINT CF1 as 1FFF with the link mode M 
ST:DMSACP723I X (CF2) R/O 
ST:VMFP2P1231I Copying files from the Secondary Parm disk to the Primary 
ST:            Parm disk 
ST:HCPZAC6732I CPACCESS request for MAINT's 0CF1 in mode A completed. 
---<snip>---

That implies that the VMFBLD wrote to CPLOAD MODULE to the CF2 disk, and 
that the PUT2PROD copied the files from the CF2 to the CF1. 
Too bad the messages don't include the names of the files copied (or just 
say "Copying ALL files..."), and information from QUERY MDISK CF1 LOCATION 
and CF2, like:
TargetID Tdev OwnerID  Odev Dtype Vol-ID Rdev   StartLoc       Size 
MAINT    0CF1 MAINT    0CF1 3390  VMR54I 6A40       2521        120 
TargetID Tdev OwnerID  Odev Dtype Vol-ID Rdev   StartLoc       Size
MAINT    0CF2 MAINT    0CF2 3390  VMR54I 6A40       2641        120 
you would immediately know from and to where PUT2PROD did it's behind the 
scenes work at that date and time.

Let us know how it works out.

Applied RSU but CPLEVEL is unchanged







I ordered RSU 1002 from SHOPZ,[email protected] or so I thought. 

SHOPZ called it RSU5407 when it gave me the download. 

Applied 35 PTFs, others were already on, PUT2PROD, and IPLed.   

But CPLEVEL still shows 0802: 

q cplevel                                                     
z/VM Version 5 Release 4.0, service level 0802 (64-bit)       
Generated at 10/14/10 12:05:41 EDT 
IPL at 10/14/10 14:40:34 EDT 

Any ideas?
