Applying RSU or other PTF service on 730 Upgraded SSI member system (February 2024)
As noted in the z/VM 730 Installation Guide, it is possible to
apply service to a first-upgraded, SSI member 730 system in an SSI
cluster, before any other member systems are upgraded. However, when
this is done, specific actions can be required for certain z/VM
components that have been updated with the applied RSU or PTF service.
The components to which this consideration applies are:
DirMaint, ICKDSF and (possibly) Language Environment (LE)
If you are planning, or actively working on, SSI cluster 730 system upgrades, review and
make use of this "Instllation Tips" topic:

Installing z/VM 620 on a z13 processor (April 2014)
In order to IPL z/VM 620 on a z13, you must have the z/VM 620 PTF for
z13 compatibility, UM34521, installed on your z/VM 620 system. Since
this PTF is not part of the z/VM 620 installation software, for a new
installation of z/VM 620, you will need to perform the installation on a
zEC12 or older processor and then install the PTF for hardware
compatibility on your z/VM 620 system. Once the PTF is installed you
can IPL your z/VM 620 system on your z13.
For additional information on z13-related service that
is needed for z/VM see hardware preventive service
planning (PSP) bucket 2964DEVICE. The z/VM subset is
2964/ZVM.
