Software Announcement 202-104 April 30, 2002 IBM z/VM V4.3 Expands Industry-Leading Virtualization Technology
At a GlanceThis new release, z/VM V4.3, includes:
For ordering, contact: Your IBM representative, an IBM Business Partner, or the Americas Call Centers at 800-IBM-CALL (Reference: ME001). Overviewz/VM™ Version 4 Release 3 (V4.3) expands its industry-leading virtualization technology with enhanced IBM Virtual Machine (VM) capabilities on the mainframe. Virtualization technology allows you to virtualize processor, communications, storage, and I/O resources, which may help you reduce the overhead of planning, purchasing, and installing new hardware to support new workloads.
z/VM V4 offers an ideal platform for consolidating select UNIX®,
Windows®, and Linux workloads on a single physical IBM z/VM V4.3 extends the virtualization technology for Linux guests by providing additional accounting information to record the use of system resources by a virtual machine. FCP-based Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) support is available for Linux on zSeries only. When available, z/VM V4.3 will provide for the use of a Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) channel on zSeries processors connected to a fibre-channel fabric to access selected devices on SCSI controllers connected to the fabric. I/O management facilities have been added that enable z/VM to exploit the hardware I/O Priority Queueing facility to prioritize guest and host I/O operations. Level 430 of TCP/IP for z/VM exploits the multicast capability of a HiperSockets adapter, improves the security of the TCP/IP stack by detecting, reporting, and preventing more types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks than provided in z/VM V4.2, improves performance of the TCP/IP stack, and enhances the configurability of TCP/IP. The Guest LAN capability, introduced in z/VM V4.2, has been improved to simulate a Queued-Direct I/O (QDIO) network adapter and now emulates the multicast and broadcast capabilities of the hardware. Improvements in systems management include the capability to manage guest performance to achieve user-defined goals. Timer management and use of large real storage have been enhanced. Changes have also been made to ease the installation and servicing of z/VM, such as the installation of z/VM from 3590-formatted tapes. RACF® for z/VM is now available as an optional, per-engine priced feature. For the most current information on z/VM, refer to the z/VM Web site at: IBM Global Financing provides financial packages to enable your company's smooth and more affordable transition to the world of Linux on zSeries and z/VM. Key PrerequisitesRefer to the Hardware Requirements and Software Requirements sections for details.
DescriptionLinux Guest Enhancements
Virtual Machine Accounting Improvements:
This new support provides additional capability to account for the
use of system resources by virtual machines, including those running
Linux. A new accounting record is produced that tracks a virtual
machine's use of virtual network resources, including virtual
channel-to-channel adapters (CTCAs), inter-user communication vehicle
(IUCV) or advanced program-to-program (APPC) connections, and virtual
(Guest LAN) network interface cards (NICs).
Technology Exploitation for Virtual Machines
Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) Guest Support:
Concurrent with the additional enhancements announced with the IBM
The programs operating in guest virtual machines under z/VM V4.3 are responsible for providing the appropriate support to use and control the SCSI devices connected through the FCP channel. Your system administrator is responsible for ensuring the necessary level of access control and concurrent-access data integrity for the SCSI devices. z/VM itself neither uses any SCSI devices nor controls guest access to them. z/VM allows the dedication of zSeries subchannels on FCP channels to a guest. Each subchannel allows the guest to access any SCSI device for which access-permission has been granted to the worldwide port name of the FCP channel within the fibre-channel infrastructure. Typical access controls within the infrastructure include zoning in the switches and Logical Unit Number-masking (LUN-masking) in the controllers. FCP-based SCSI support is available for Linux for zSeries only. When available, guest Linux operating systems may be able to access data on the SCSI devices connected to the fibre-channel fabric. Access to SCSI devices by a Linux guest is governed by open standards for fibre-channel fabrics and controllers as well as by proprietary and/or commonly available functions provided by individual vendors. Thus, unlike the device-isolation provided among virtual machines by z/VM and the z/Architecture for devices connected to other types of channels, neither z/VM nor the FCP channels provide for the isolation of SCSI devices to a single virtual-machine configuration. I/O Priority Queueing: I/O management facilities have been added that enable z/VM to exploit the hardware I/O Priority Queueing facility to prioritize guest and host I/O operations. A virtual equivalent of the hardware facility is provided, allowing virtual machines running operating systems such as z/OS that exploit I/O Priority Queueing to determine the priority of their I/O operations within bounds defined by a new SET IOPRIORITY command. z/VM will automatically set a priority for I/O operations initiated by virtual machines that do not exploit this function. Automated Shutdown: By virtualizing a hardware interface, Automated Shutdown enables guests to shut themselves down when signaled to do so by a z/VM Control Program (CP) command. This new support will be exploited by z/VM as a guest and can also be exploited by other guest operating systems. The amount of elapsed time during which a guest is allowed to process a termination signal is limited by a timeout interval. Automated Shutdown can also be used to cause z/VM itself to shut down when a hardware event (for example, deactivation of the logical partition) is initiated while z/VM is active. In this situation, guest virtual machines may, at customer discretion, be given an opportunity to shut themselves down before z/VM terminates. Shared Tape: z/VM V4.3 allows multiple VM guests to share a tape device by allowing the CP ATTACH command to be issued for the same tape device on different guests without intervening CP DETACH commands. This support removes the need to manage dedication of a tape device from one VM guest to another since the tape device can now remain ATTACHed to several guests concurrently. This support is specifically targeted for z/OS, z/OS.e, and OS/390 guests that use automatic tape switching with ATS Star or IEFAUTOS. In principle, however, it will work for any guest that manages its own assignment of tape devices. Supported tape devices are 3424, 3480, 3490, and 3590. Third-party assignment and multi-system assignment (Control Access CCW) are not supported.
Note:
z/OS.e is available only on the IBM Connectivity EnhancementsHiperSockets Support Improvements: z/VM V4.2 supports the new z/Architecture HiperSockets function for high-speed TCP/IP communication among virtual machines and logical partitions within the same zSeries server (z900 or z800). The HiperSockets function uses an adaptation of the Queued-Direct I/O (QDIO) high-speed I/O protocol previously introduced with zSeries OSA-Express Gigabit-Ethernet support. The HiperSockets function allows virtual machines and/or logical partitions to communicate internally over the memory bus using the new internal-queued-direct (IQD) channel type in the z900 or z800. z/VM supports HiperSockets for use by guest operating systems and the TCP/IP for z/VM server virtual machine. Thus, VM programs using TCP/IP can communicate via HiperSockets with other VM programs using TCP/IP and with guest operating systems and other logical partitions using TCP/IP. With z/VM V4.3, TCP/IP exploits the multicast capability of a HiperSockets adapter, enabling TCP/IP to send or receive multicast IP datagrams among virtual machines and logical partitions within the same zSeries server. VM Guest LAN Support Improvements: In addition to supporting the HiperSockets function on IQD channels, z/VM V4.2 supports the HiperSockets function on guest LANs that allow interconnection of virtual machines. That is, VM simulates the HiperSockets function for communication among virtual machines without the need for IQD channels, much as it simulates channel-to-channel adapters for communication among virtual machines without the need for ESCON®, FICON™, or other channel-to-channel connections. Guest LAN support enhances the HiperSockets function by providing an essentially unlimited number of isolated guest LANs. The Guest LAN implementation has been extended in z/VM V4.3 to support multicast transmission across HiperSockets Guest LANs. Guest LANs can now be defined to function as OSA Express QDIO transport media, in addition to HiperSockets media. The addition of QDIO simulation allows virtualization of a QDIO LAN environment and provides support for the broadcast capability that is part of the QDIO architecture. As with the z/VM HiperSockets simulation, no real hardware is required to support the OSA Express QDIO simulation. Improved TCP/IP Stack Performance: The TCP/IP stack was analyzed for opportunities to improve performance. To achieve this objective:
TCP/IP Stack Security Improvements: In z/VM V4.2, TCP/IP improved the security of the TCP/IP stack by preventing some Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. These attacks included:
Additional prevention of DoS attacks has been implemented in TCP/IP for z/VM Level 430. These include:
IP Configuration Wizard: A new utility is introduced in z/VM V4.3 to automate the connection of a newly installed z/VM system to a TCP/IP-based network. This z/VM TCP/IP configuration wizard requires no knowledge of TCP/IP for z/VM and is similar to the network configuration utilities used in Linux for zSeries distributions during Linux installation. This easy-to-use configuration wizard assists the z/VM installer in providing desired IP configuration information such as host and domain name, IP addresses, and subnet mask. From that information, the wizard will generate an initial z/VM TCP/IP configuration and verify that connectivity to the network has been established.
Ease-of-Use Enhancement for TCP/IP Configuration and Operation:
A new function in z/VM V4.3 makes it easier to dynamically configure
TCP/IP for z/VM, Level 430. The new IFCONFIG command follows the
general syntax of the Linux/UNIX
ifconfig
command. This new command eliminates the need to learn the statement
syntax of the z/VM TCP/IP server configuration file and can optionally
generate syntactically correct configuration statements for incorporation
into this configuration file to make the changes permanent.
Systems Management ImprovementsManaging Guest Performance: z/VM V4.3 includes new capabilities for managing guest performance to achieve customer-defined goals. A new service virtual machine accepts workload definitions, goal specifications, and associations between them. It then adjusts virtual machine CPU and I/O performance controls based on actual performance to attempt to achieve the goals associated with each workload. Enhanced Timer Management: The performance of CP timer management is improved for environments where a large number of requests are scheduled, particularly for short intervals, and where timer requests are frequently canceled before they become due. A system with large numbers of Linux or z/OS guests with certain workloads would be an example of such an environment. Master-processor overhead has been reduced by allowing timer events to be handled on any processor. Also, clock comparator settings are now tracked and managed across all processors to significantly reduce unnecessary timer interruptions. Improved Utilization of Large Real Storage: System performance may be improved with better utilization of large real storage when Expanded Storage is unavailable, full, or nearly full while CP is replenishing its available-page list. This is accomplished by moving pages to storage above the 2 GB line when:
Performance Monitor:
To correctly extract processor configuration data and performance
data from each of the I/O processors on the zSeries servers, CP has been
updated to issue new hardware instructions and record the appropriate
monitor information. The PRF optional feature has also been updated to
process this new monitor data.
Enterprise Storage Server™ (ESS) Large Volume Support
z/VM V4.3 now supports up to a 32,760-cylinder 3390 volume on the ESS.
The 32,760-cylinder 3390 volume helps relieve device address constraints
and improves disk resource utilization and storage administrator
productivity by providing the ability to consolidate multiple disk
volumes into a single address. Support for ESS large volumes by
DFSMS/VM® and the Directory Maintenance Facility is provided with the
PTFs for APARs VM63004 and VM62907, respectively.
Service and Installation ChangesFor servicing z/VM, the SERVICE EXEC will detect local modifications and present that information to you. This will provide the option to rework the local modifications before the new service is built into executables. This benefits all users that have installed local modifications to their z/VM system. The new VMFUPDAT EXEC provides a panel interface that will display which local modifications need to be reworked and allow updates to the System-Level Service Update Facility table.
Supported installation devices have changed. 3590-formatted tapes are
now supported for installation, in addition to 3480 and CD-ROM format.
4-mm DAT drives and 3380 DASD are no longer supported for installation.
All 3390 DASD used for installation must be the same model.
Packaging and Licensing ChangesRACF for z/VM is now available to be licensed under International Program License Agreement (IPLA). RACF is available as an optional feature of z/VM V4.3 and is priced on a per-engine basis. This optional RACF feature for z/VM V4.3 is equivalent to RACF V1.10.0 (5740-XXH) base and RSU service. RACF works with the existing system features of z/VM to provide improved data security for an installation. RACF helps meet the need for security by providing:
TSAF and AVS are now part of the BASE installation.
Engine-Based Software PricingThe engine-based pricing introduced in z/VM V4.1 may make it financially more attractive to add VM workload to an existing z900, z800, or S/390 server. Engine-based pricing means customers will pay a one-time charge (OTC) for each processor engine. This can be for standard processor engines or Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) processor features. For additional information on the z/VM support for the IFL, refer to Software Announcement 201-163 , dated May 29, 2001.
z/VM V4 includes engine-based pricing for the optional features of
RealTime Monitor (RTM) FL410, Performance Reporting Facility (PRF) FL410,
and Directory Maintenance Facility (DirMaint™) FL410. New with
z/VM V4.3 is the addition of RACF as an optional, per-engine priced
feature. With the availability of RACF as an IPLA product, it can be
licensed on IFL engines. These features are automatically installed with
z/VM V4.3 but you must have a license to use them and they must be
enabled. The Recommended Service Upgrade (RSU) tape must be applied for
these features to support new functions of z/VM V4.3.
System Delivery Offering (SDO) Ordering ProcessThe z/VM V4 SDO, program number 5739-A04, is the IBM program offering for z/VM that includes a single deliverable containing z/VM V4.3 and a group of fully serviced IBM licensed program products. The z/VM SDO is the only method that can be used to order z/VM V4.3 and ordering capability is planned for April 30, 2002. The z/VM SDO package contains:
The key benefit of the z/VM SDO is the ability to dynamically update the SDO with new program products (versions and releases), with service when available, or to delete withdrawn products. This capability makes the SDO a more effective solution for the z/VM V4 customer. For a complete list of products available and serviced with the z/VM V4.3 SDO or for more information on the z/VM SDO, refer to the z/VM Web site at:
The z/VM V3.1 SDO (5654-A20) can still be ordered after the availability
of the z/VM V4.3 SDO.

These include exploitation of:
For specific function and for the most current information on Linux distributors, refer to: Limitations: z/VM V4.3 will operate on the zSeries 900 or 800 family of servers, S/390 Parallel Enterprise Servers Generation 5 and 6, S/390 Multiprise 3000, or equivalent servers. Only Linux workloads in an LPAR or as guests of z/VM V4 can operate on the IFL processor features.
Performance Considerations:
System performance depends on the hardware resources allocated to
z/VM V4.3 and on the level of activity within each Linux image. For
assistance in understanding the performance implications for a particular
situation, contact your IBM representative or your IBM Business Partner.
Planning Informationz/VM V4 and z/VM Subscription and Support (S&S): You must order z/VM V4.3 using the SDO, program number 5739-A04. If you desire the level of service expected with S/390 and z/VM program products, you are strongly encouraged to order the program number for z/VM S&S. This program number provides enhanced support that includes telephone assistance (voice support for defects during normal business hours) and access to updates, releases, and versions of the program for as long as support is in effect. z/VM S&S will be automatically added to your order. If you do not desire the S&S license for z/VM and/or the optional features of RTM, PRF, DirMaint, or RACF, you must take specific action to decline this support. To host Linux guests of z/VM V4.3, you must also obtain the Linux for zSeries or Linux for S/390 distribution. Information on those Linux distributors that have a marketing relationship with IBM can be found at: Licensed Products Packaged with z/VM V4.3: With the availability of z/VM V4.3, the following priced, optional products or features are automatically shipped preinstalled on the z/VM V4.3 base product DDRs:
These products must be enabled for use. If you choose to enable them, you must have a license for the product or the feature. If you do not have a license for RSCS and TSM, you may establish one by placing an order for the product and using the delivery option "ship publications only" (#3471). This delivery option will prevent unnecessary shipment of the media while allowing for shipment of the basic publications for the products, including the program directories. If you do not have a license for RTM, PRF, DirMaint, or RACF, you may establish one by placing an order for the z/VM V4.3 features and using the delivery option "ship publications only" (#3471). This delivery option will prevent unnecessary shipment of the media while allowing for shipment of the basic publications for the products, including the program directories. The program directories include instructions for enabling use of the products. Prior to installation, you should review the Software Vendor Product and IBM Licensed Product matrices.
Running 370-Mode Applications: To simplify the migration of older applications and facilitate the running of 370-mode-only CMS applications in non-370-mode virtual machines, such as XA or XC mode, IBM provides the 370 Accommodation function. This function originally shipped with VM/ESA V1.2.1 (available July 1993) and has since been enhanced as the result of customer experience and input. 370 Accommodation handles the vast majority of inconsistencies between 370 mode and either XA or XC mode, eliminating the need to change these applications to exploit the new architectures. z/VM V4 only supports XA-, ESA-, and XC-mode virtual machines. z/VM Version 4 no longer supports 370-mode virtual machines. 370-mode virtual machines are converted to XA mode during logon processing. The 370 Accommodation function is still supported for applications. If you find your applications cannot run under the current level of CMS, you should use the 370 Accommodation function or modify the applications, if possible. If problems persist, call IBM Service for assistance. The CMS Migration Utility Feature is not available with z/VM V4. Direct Customer Support: Direct customer support is provided by IBM Operational Support Services — Support Line. This fee service enhances customers' productivity by providing voice and electronic access into the IBM support organization. IBM Operational Support Services — Support Line will help answer questions pertaining to usage, and suspected software defects for eligible products. Installation and technical support is provided by Global Services. For more information call, 800-IBM-4YOU (426-4968). Packaging: The z/VM V4.3 product package is distributed with the following:

Customization OptionsSelect the appropriate feature numbers to customize your order for the z/VM V4 SDO, program number 5739-A04, for the delivery options desired. The feature numbers associated with Initial and Update Shipments are only available for the licensed products within the SDO and not for z/VM base code or the orderable optional features. However, the feature numbers associated with the Expedite Shipments are applicable for both the z/VM V4.3 SDO licensed products and the z/VM base code plus the optional features. Example: If publications are not desired for the initial order, specify feature number 3470 to ship media only. For future updates, specify feature number 3480 to ship media updates only. If, in the future, publication updates are required, order an MES to remove feature number 3480; then, the publications will ship with the next release of the program.
