IBM&rm. z/VM&rm. V5.3 - Improving scalability, security and
virtualization technology
February 6, 2007
Announcement Letter Number: A07-0173
Document's Table of Contents:
REVISED MAY 2, 2007 TO MAKE MINOR TEXT CORRECTIONS.
With z/VM® V5.3, improvements to scalability, security and
virtualization technology can help support increased workloads on IBM
System z9(TM) and zSeries(TM) servers and enhance
its security characteristics.
z/VM V5.3 provides support for larger logical partitions (LPARs) to
improve scalability and to facilitate growth. A single z/VM partition
can be configured with more than 256 GB of real storage (memory),
twice the size supported by the previous release, and up to 32
Processor Units (PUs),
a 33% increase over the previous release.
The PUs may be:
- Central Processor (CP)
- System z(TM) Application Assist Processor (zAAP)
- System z9 Integrated Information Processor (zIIP)
- Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL)
z/VM V5.3 and Linux on System z collaborate to make more
informed choices about
how memory is managed. This level of cooperation can allow z/VM to
run more virtual servers in the same amount of memory.
This new release provides an increased focus on security capabilities
with the introduction of an LDAP server and client services for a
more comprehensive security solution on z/VM. Security is also
enhanced to support the use of password phrases in z/VM through a new
RACF® feature, more security-rich
TCP/IP sessions and enhanced data
protection by exploiting
drive-based data encryption of the IBM System
Storage(TM) TS1120 Tape Drive.
z/VM V5.3 extends its world-class virtualization technology by
providing guest support for
zAAPs and zIIPs, the Modified
Indirect Data Address Word (MIDAW) facility and ASCII consoles.
Manageability, reliability and usability of virtual networks have
also been improved.
The z/VM hypervisor is designed to help
clients extend the business value of
mainframe technology across the enterprise by integrating applications
and data while providing
exceptional levels of availability, security and
operational ease. z/VM virtualization technology is designed to allow
the capability for clients to run hundreds to thousands of Linux servers
on a single mainframe running with other System z operating systems,
such as z/OS® or as a large-scale Linux-only enterprise server
solution. z/VM V5.3 can also help to improve productivity by hosting
non-Linux workloads such as z/OS, z/VSE(TM) and z/TPF.

Refer to the Hardware Requirements and Software
Requirements sections for details.
Support for more than 128 GB real storage
Changes to page table allocation in z/VM V5.3 allow z/VM to
support significantly more real memory, up to 256 GB, twice the size
supported by z/VM V5.2, with up to 8 terabytes (TB) of total virtual
memory in use by guests. The actual amount of usable real and virtual
memory is dependent on the amount of real memory in the z/VM logical
partition, on the hardware server model, firmware level, and
configuration, and on the number of guests and their workload
characteristics. This
can benefit customers with large amounts of real memory, and may help
reduce or eliminate the need to spread large workloads across multiple
z/VM LPARs. Enhancements to the management of contiguous frames may
also reduce memory management overhead and improve performance. Better
z/VM management of real memory can benefit most customers who
experience memory constraints, regardless of the amount of central
memory configured for z/VM use.
For specific information on the effect of these changes and on
the new upper bound of real memory supported, refer to the z/VM
V5.3 Performance Report, planned to be available on
June 29, 2007.
Up to 32 real processors in a single z/VM image
z/VM V5.3 can support customer growth by allowing
up to 32 real processors in a single z/VM image on an IBM System
z server, an increase of 33%
from the prior maximum of 24. The particular
workload will influence the efficiency with which a z/VM
system can use large numbers of processors. Generally, z/VM overhead
is expected to be lower with fewer, more CPU-intensive guests than with
many lightly loaded guests.
For further considerations on performance in a
large-scale multiprocessing environment, refer to the
z/VM V5.3: Migration Guide,
GC24-6103 and the z/VM V5.3 Performance Report,
both of which are
planned to be available on June 29, 2007.
Enhanced memory management for Linux® guests
z/VM V5.3 adds support for the Collaborative Memory Management
Assist (CMMA) on the z9 EC
and the z9 BC
processors. This VM support, in conjunction with CMMA exploitation
in guest
operating systems such as Linux for System z, allows the z/VM V5.3
Control Program (CP) host and its guests to communicate attributes for
specific 4K-byte blocks of guest memory. This exchange of information
can allow both the z/VM host and its guests
to optimize their use and management of
memory, in the following ways:
- CP knows when a Linux application releases storage and can
select those pages for removal at a higher priority or
reclaim the page frames without the overhead of paging-out their data
content to expanded storage or disk.
- CP recognizes clean disk cache pages, the contents of which Linux
is able to reconstruct, allowing CP to bypass paging-out the data
contents when reclaiming the backing frames for these pages.
If Linux or its application subsequently tries to refer to the
discarded page, Linux is notified that the page has been discarded
and can reread the contents from
disk or otherwise reconstruct them.
- The guest further benefits from the Host Page-Management Assist
(HPMA) announced in
Hardware Announcement A05-0970
dated July 27, 2005.
In conjunction with CMMA, HPMA allows the machine to supply fresh
backing page frames for guest memory when the guest reuses a
previously discarded page, eliminating the need for the z/VM hypervisor
to intercept and resolve these host page faults.
z/VM 5.3 is the delivery vehicle for providing enhanced memory
management support on z/VM. This satisfies the statement
of direction made in
Software Announcement A05-0971
dated July 27, 2005.
Refer to the Preventive Service Planning (PSP) bucket for your
z9 EC or z9 BC server for required updates.
To avoid system outages,
required minimum MCL levels must be applied prior to IPLing z/VM V5.3
and exploiting new functions.
The PSP buckets can be
found on Resource Link at:
- https://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/390.psp390
IBM is working with its Linux distribution partners to provide CMMA
exploitation in future Linux for System z distributions or
service updates.
Enhanced memory utilization using VMRM between z/VM
and Linux guests
Virtual Machine Resource Manager
(VMRM) assists in managing memory contention in the z/VM system.
Based on CP monitor data, the z/VM V5.3
Virtual Machine Resource Manager (VMRM) detects when memory is
constrained and notifies the Linux guests.
These guests can then take action to adjust their memory consumption
to help relieve the memory constraint, such as by releasing pages
containing the least recently referenced file cache data.
The installation controls which guests are notified.
For additional information on VMRM memory management,
including availability of the required Linux support,
refer to the z/VM Web site at:
- http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zvm/sysman/vmrm/vmrmcm
m.html
HyperPAV support for IBM System Storage DS8000
z/VM V5.3 supports the Hyper Parallel Access Volume (HyperPAV)
function optionally provided by the IBM System Storage(TM) DS8000 disk
storage systems. HyperPAV support complements the existing basic PAV
support in z/VM V5.2, for applicable supporting disk storage systems.
The HyperPAV function potentially reduces the number of alias-device
addresses needed for parallel I/O operations since HyperPAVs are
dynamically bound to a base device for each I/O operation instead of
being bound statically like
basic PAVs. z/VM provides support of
HyperPAV volumes as linkable minidisks for guest operating systems,
such as z/OS, that exploit the HyperPAV architecture.
This support is also designed to
transparently provide the potential benefits of HyperPAV volumes
for minidisks owned or shared by guests that do not
specifically exploit HyperPAV volumes, such as Linux and CMS.
Enhanced FlashCopy support
z/VM V5.3 support for the FlashCopy® V2 feature of IBM
System Storage disk storage devices has been enhanced to simplify the
tasks required to automate backups. This includes the capabilities to:
- Specify multiple target minidisks
The CP FLASHCOPY command can now accept up to 12 target minidisks
to be copied.
- Determine the status of FlashCopy requests
The new CP QUERY Virtual FLASHCOPY command allows the user to query
the number of FlashCopy relationships active for one or more of
their virtual DASD.
- Exploit hardware asynchronous cache destage and discard
This is designed to
eliminate delayed hardware response messages and provides
quicker responses to the CP FLASHCOPY command. This makes the
FlashCopy appear synchronous to the virtual machine and may
simplify automating processes that exploit this technology.
In addition, z/VM has reduced the number of FlashCopy
hardware-related error conditions that can be reflected to the guest
for the
z/VM FLASHCOPY command. z/VM will attempt to redrive the I/O
on some error conditions before reflecting the command response back
to the guest.
Support for IBM System z specialty engines (processors)
Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) processors are dedicated to Linux
workloads. IFLs enable you to purchase additional processing capacity
exclusively for Linux workloads, without affecting the MSU rating or
the IBM System z model designation.
This means that acquiring
an IFL will not necessarily increase charges for IBM
System z software running on general-purpose (standard) processors
in the server. IFLs were first introduced in
Software Announcement A01-0735
dated May 29, 2001.
System z Application Assist Processors (zAAPs) are
attractively priced specialized processors that provide an
economical Java execution environment under z/OS and z/OS.e on the
System z platform. zAAPs were announced in
Hardware Announcement A04-0405
dated April 7, 2004.
System z9 Integrated Information Processors (zIIPs) are the latest
specialty processors,
designed to help improve resource optimization and
lower the cost for eligible workloads. z/OS and z/OS.e exploit zIIPs to
offload software system overhead from standard Central Processors
(CPs). This includes certain DB2 processing,
enhancing the role of the mainframe as the data hub of the enterprise.
zIIPs were announced in
Hardware Announcement A05-0606
dated April 27, 2006 and
Hardware Announcement A05-0608
dated April 27, 2006.
z/VM V5.3 is designed to provide new guest support for
zAAPs and zIIPs and includes:
- Simulation support - z/VM simulates specialty processors for
guest virtual machines
by dispatching the virtual specialty processors on real CPs.
Simulating specialty processors provides a test platform
for z/VM guests to exploit mixed-processor configurations.
This allows users to assess the operational and CPU utilization
implications of configuring a z/OS system with zIIP or zAAP processors
without requiring the real specialty processor hardware. This
simulation also supports z/VM's continuing role as a disaster-recovery
platform, since a virtual configuration can be defined to match the
real hardware configuration even when real zIIP or zAAP processors are
not available on the recovery system.
z/VM simulates specialty processors using real CPs if the underlying
hardware is capable of supporting the real specialty processor. zIIPs
can be simulated only on System z9 (z9 EC and z9 BC) servers.
zAAPs can be simulated only on z9 EC, z9 BC, z990 and z890 servers.
- Virtualization support - z/VM
can create virtual specialty processors for virtual machines by
dispatching the virtual processors on corresponding
specialty processors of the same type in the real configuration.
Guest support for zAAPs and zIIPs may help
improve your total cost of ownership by allowing available zAAP and zIIP
capacity not being used by z/OS LPARs to be allocated to a z/VM LPAR
hosting z/OS guests running Java and
DB2 workloads. zAAPs and zIIPs cost less than standard CPs, so this
support might enable you to avoid purchasing additional CPs, thereby
helping to
reduce your costs both for additional hardware and for software
licensing fees.
Enhanced VSWITCH and guest LAN usability
z/VM V5.3 provides usability enhancements for the virtual switch
(VSWITCH) and guest-LAN environments including:
- Enhanced ease-of-use for Virtual LAN (VLAN) and promiscuous mode
configuration changes
Changes to the authorized VLAN ID (VID) set and to
promiscuous mode
authorization are now effective immediately instead of requiring
a revoke, a grant and an uncouple/couple in order
for the changes to take effect.
- New capability to configure a native VLAN ID
This support provides the ability to specify a native VLAN identifier
for untagged traffic and a default VLAN identifier for guest ports. The DEFINE
VSWITCH command now supports the specification of a native VLAN
identifier.
- New virtual NIC monitor domain
Existing counts maintained for the virtual NIC, such as inbound
packets, outbound bytes and frame counts per MAC/VLAN, are now
included in records in a new Virtual Network
monitor domain. These new monitor records provide
data for a virtual NIC that is coupled to any guest LAN
or VSWITCH.
Modified Indirect Data Address Words (MIDAWs) for guests
z/VM V5.3 supports guest use of MIDAWs, which is a hardware
feature available on the IBM
System z9. MIDAWs can
allow more flexibility and performance in certain
channel programs as an alternative to data-chained
channel-command words (CCWs). MIDAWs accommodate noncontiguous data
areas that cannot be handled by the predecessor indirect-data-address
words (IDAWs). z/VM support for guest use of MIDAWs can
allow operating
systems such as z/OS to use this new aspect of z/Architecture®
without
regard to whether the operating systems are running in a logical
partition or a virtual machine. This allows guest operating systems
to exercise their code-paths just as they would on the real machine
during, for example, preproduction testing of z/OS systems. Likewise,
the provision of the function in a virtual machine allows guest
operating systems to benefit from the real machine's added-value
function just as though the guests were running directly on the
machine.
Guest ASCII console support
The system ASCII console is a facility that comes with all System z
models and is presented by the Hardware Management Console (HMC).
z/VM V5.3 provides guest access to the system ASCII console. By
dedicating the system ASCII console to a Linux guest, customers can
facilitate recovery of the guest during an emergency situation, using
an environment that provides tools (such as vi and emacs) that are
familiar to Linux support staff. This can be particularly useful when
normal network access to a guest operating system is not available.
The system ASCII console (and hence the guest ASCII console) supports
a VT220 data stream.
This function can help lower system costs by helping to
reduce the need to
provide alternative facilities, such as duplicate network resources,
to achieve desired guest-recoverability characteristics.
Since this function provides guest
access to the one system ASCII console by one guest at a time, use of
the console can be transferred from guest to guest as required.
Enhanced SCSI support
z/VM V5.3 provides additional enhancements for Small Computer
System Interface (SCSI) disk support for Linux users, including:
- Point-to-Point Fibre Channel links, which may provide
a lower-cost installation
than the current requirement for a Fibre Channel switched fabric
- Dynamically determined preferred paths for emulated FBA devices
(EDEVICEs) on SCSI disks in an IBM System Storage DS6000(TM) , instead of
the current need to specify which paths are preferred
in a SET EDEVICE command or an
EDEVICE configuration-file statement
- Faster formatting of emulated FBA devices (EDEVICEs) on SCSI disks
in an IBM Enterprise Storage Server (ESS) or IBM System Storage DS8000
- Display of additional SCSI device characteristics when using the
QUERY EDEVICE DETAILS command
- Checking for erroneous mapping of multiple emulated-device
(EDEVICE) definitions onto the same SCSI disk when bringing emulated
disks on-line
Improved virtual network management
z/VM V5.3 helps network administrators manage virtual network
performance, find and solve virtual network problems and plan virtual
network growth. z/VM V5.3 establishes a method for
providing Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
data for virtual networking devices. Specifically,
it provides a SNMP
subagent that runs in a separate virtual machine from the SNMP agent
and extends the functionality of the agent by supporting a specific
set of Management Information Base (MIB) variables.
A preconfigured subagent and exit routine are provided in z/VM V5.3
to supply bridge Management Information Base (BRIDGE-MIB) data,
as documented in RFC 1493, for the z/VM Virtual Switch (VSWITCH).
This subagent, through the use of a Network Management System client,
can acquire BRIDGE-MIB data for the
z/VM virtual switch. In addition, this support provides a programming
interface to obtain information about virtual networks.
Enhanced failover support for IPv4 and IPv6 devices
Failover support for Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet
Protocol version 6 (IPv6) devices has been improved in z/VM V5.3. When
the z/VM TCP/IP stack has two (or more)
Queued Direct Input/Output (QDIO) or LAN Channel Station (LCS)
Ethernet devices on the same network and one
device is stopped or fails, another device takes over
responsibility for traffic destined for the failing device (or any
devices the failing device had previously taken over). This failover
support includes OSA-Express devices (in QDIO Ethernet or LCS Ethernet
mode), Virtual IP Addresses (VIPAs) and
addresses for which PROXYARP services are being provided through a
takeover-eligible device. In addition to the basic failover support,
one takeover-eligible device on that network will be responsible for
informing other nodes on that network which hardware (MAC) address
should be used to reach VIPA addresses on the TCP/IP stack, both when
the stack initializes and when an IP takeover event occurs.
Virtual IP Address (VIPA) support for IPv6
Virtual IP address support in the TCP/IP stack has been
extended in z/VM V5.3 to support IPv6 addresses.
It is now possible
to enable and configure a virtual device for IPv6, as well as to
associate real IPv6-capable network adapters with a specific IPv6
virtual link for determining the source address used in outgoing
packets. VIPA support is designed to
improve the capability of the TCP/IP stack
to maintain connections in the event that a real network device fails.
Delivery of LDAP server and client
z/VM V5.3 introduces new user authentication, authorization and
auditing capabilities with the inclusion of an LDAP server
and associated client utilities. The z/VM
LDAP server has been adapted from the IBM Tivoli Directory Server
for z/OS, to be delivered in z/OS V1.8. Executing in a CMS virtual
machine, LDAP
is integrated in the base of z/VM V5.3 as a
subcomponent of TCP/IP.
The z/VM LDAP server provides:
- Multiple concurrent database instances (referred to as backends)
- Interoperability with LDAP V2 or V3 protocol-capable clients
- LDAP Version 2 and Version 3 protocol support
- Native authentication using Challenge-Response Authentication
Method (CRAM-MD5), DIGEST-MD5 authentication and Simple
(unencrypted) authentication
- Root DSE information master/slave and peer-to-peer replication
- The ability to refer clients to additional directory servers
- The capability to create an alias entry in the directory to
point to another entry in the directory
- Access controls on directory information
- Change logging
- Schema publication and update
- SSL communication (SSL V3 and TLS V1)
- Client and server authentication using SSL/TLS
The LDAP client utilities provide a way to add, modify, search and
delete entries in any server that accepts LDAP protocol requests.
For more details on what functions have been implemented in the
initial version of the z/VM LDAP server, refer to the
z/VM: TCP/IP LDAP Administration Guide, SC24-6140.
The new RACF Security Server for z/VM feature, available with z/VM
V5.3, has also been updated to interoperate with the new z/VM LDAP
server.
Enhanced system security with longer passwords
Working together, z/VM V5.3 and the RACF Security Server for z/VM
FL530 feature support the use of passwords that are longer than eight
characters, called password phrases (also known as passphrases).
A password phrase may contain
mixed-case letters, numbers, blanks and special characters, allowing
for an exponentially greater number of possible combinations of
characters than traditional passwords.
To utilize password phrases, an External Security Manager (ESM) that
supports password phrases, such as RACF, is required.
To ease migration from
passwords to password phrases, the RACF Security Server for z/VM
continues to support traditional 8-character passwords.
A new Callable Services Library
(CSL) routine, DMSPASS, allows authorized CMS applications to
authenticate passwords or password phrases. The z/VM LOGON command,
the z/VM TCP/IP
File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Systems Management API, Remote
Execution Protocol (REXEC) and Internet Message Access Protocol
(IMAP) servers and the Performance Toolkit for VM have been updated
to support password phrases.
For environments in which password phrases cannot be used, but where
to support password phrases.
For environments in which password phrases cannot be used, but where
additional password complexity is required, the RACF Security Server
for z/VM also provides support for mixed-case 8-character passwords.
Support for password phrases and mixed-case passwords enables a z/VM
system to meet the enterprise password requirements imposed by many
companies, governments and institutions.
Conformance with industry standards
z/VM V5.3 adds Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security
(SSL/TLS) support for industry-standard secure FTP (RFC 4217), Telnet
(draft specification #6) and SMTP (RFC 3207) sessions. This support
includes new socket APIs to permit a Pascal or Assembler client or
server application to control the acceptance and establishment of
TCP sessions that are
encrypted with SSL/TLS. Data transmission on a connection
can now begin in clear text and at some
later point be made available in secure text,
thus helping to reduce the need to dedicate a separate
port for secure connections.
In order to enable enforcement of enterprise requirements for strong
encryption on network connections (128 bits or higher), the z/VM SSL
server has been enhanced to more easily allow weak cipher suites
to be excluded.
SSL server enhancements
Previous releases of z/VM provided Red Hat® Package Manager (RPM)
packages for various Linux distributions. z/VM V5.3 supports:
- Novell® SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 9 Service Pack 3
(64-bit)
- Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 9 Service Pack 3
(31-bit)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux® (RHEL) AS 4 Update 4 (64-bit)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) AS 4 Update 4 (31-bit)
The z/VM SSL server has been enhanced to allow the host Linux guest
system to remain active after a critical error is encountered during
server operations.
Also, the SSLADMIN command has been enhanced to:
- Allow the specification of the number of days that a self-signed
certificate is to be valid
- Improve the management of the SSL
server LOG files, by providing the
ability to:
- Maintain log information in a file named other than SSLADMIN LOG
- Specify a maximum size to be established for the SSL server log
- Purge log information accumulated by the SSL server
Tape data protection with support for encryption
z/VM now supports drive-based data encryption with the IBM System
Storage TS1120 Tape Drive (machine type 3592, model E05). The
TS1120's encryption capability and its subsystem-integration support
provide a flexible tape-data-encryption solution that
provides data encryption and key management across a variety of
environments with a single point of control for all encryption keys.
Most importantly, this solution can help protect data on tape in
a cost-effective way.
Encryption of tapes by z/VM itself requires that the IBM Encryption
Key Manager be running on another operating system, using an
out-of-band (such as TCP/IP) connection to the tape control unit. z/VM
native support includes encryption for DDR and SPXTAPE, as well as
transparent support
for guests that do not provide for their own encryption (for example,
CMS and Linux for System z).
z/VM also enables encryption of tapes by guests (such as z/OS)
that have the ability to control the tape-encryption facilities
themselves and to optionally run the Encryption Key Manager. Key
management for such guests can use either an out-of-band or an in-band
(such as an ESCON or FICON channel) connection between the Encryption
Key Manager and the tape control unit. With the PTF for APAR VM64063
for z/VM V5.1 and V5.2, only the Encryption Key Manager's default keys
are supported for use by z/VM and by
guests that do not provide for their
own encryption. z/VM V5.3 expands this support to allow any key label
to be used, with key labels being accessible through a key alias that
is defined to z/VM.
DFSMS/VM FL221 with the PTF for APAR VM64062 supports locating
encryption-capable 3592 tape drives in an Enterprise Automated Tape
Library. This DFSMS/VM support provides tape-encryption capabilities
for a z/VSE guest running on z/VM.
For additional information on the IBM System Storage TS1120 Tape
Drive encryption support, refer to
Hardware Announcement A06-1498
dated August 29, 2006.
Enhanced management functions for Linux and other virtual
images
The
z/VM Virtual Systems Management Application Programming Interface
(API), first introduced in z/VM V4.4,
is provided for System z platform provisioning applications (such as
IBM Director and programs developed by non-IBM solution providers)
for ease of use in creating and managing large numbers of
Linux and other virtual images running on z/VM.
With z/VM V5.3, a new sockets-based server supports the
z/VM Virtual Systems Management API. The sockets-based server is
multitasking-capable and supports both AF_INET and AF_IUCV socket
requests.
In addition to the new server, enhancements provided in z/VM V5.3
include:
- New functions to:
- Create, delete and query the IPL statement in a virtual image's
directory entry
- Create and delete virtual switches and guest LANs
- Obtain processor, memory and device information for active virtual
images
- Check the validity of a given user ID/password (or passphrase)
combination
- Enhancements to existing functions to:
- Provide values of specific attributes for selected query functions,
rather than return a buffer containing QUERY command output
- Exploit the new Asynchronous CP Command function available
in z/VM V5.3
- Accept passphrases and forward them to the external security
manager to be set, changed or deleted
- Provide a list of active virtual images
The new and enhanced API functions for z/VM V5.3
have been implemented using the new sockets-based server. Functions
provided in earlier releases of z/VM can also be invoked
through the new server.
The sockets-based server replaces the Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
server and CSL routines that were used to
call the Virtual Systems Management API in previous releases of z/VM.
The RPC server is still available in z/VM V5.3, with all of the functions
that were available in z/VM V5.2. However, the enhancements
provided in z/VM V5.3 are not available through the RPC server,
for which no
future enhancements are planned. Documentation on
the use of the API with the RPC server and CSL routines
will not be updated and will not be included in the V5.3 bookshelf.
IBM intends to remove the RPC server from a future z/VM release.
New function level for DirMaint
The priced, optional feature of the
IBM Directory Maintenance Facility (DirMaint) has been upgraded to
a new function level (FL530) in z/VM V5.3.
In addition to all service being applied since FL510, Directory Maintenance
Facility FL530
includes:
- Supporting new and changed directory statements in z/VM V5.3
- Eliminating indefinite wait times when a DATAMOVE machine cannot
access all required resources for a DASD management function
- Providing more detailed information about the causes of
errors returned from the Systems Management API
Enhancements to the Performance Toolkit
In addition to being upgraded to a new function level (FL530),
the Performance Toolkit for VM(TM) feature has been enhanced for
z/VM V5.3 to:
- Support passphrases when accessing the Performance Toolkit
using the Web interface
- Change the service process for Performance Toolkit from a
full-part replacement MODULE to service by individual object parts,
reducing the size of the service deliverable
- Provide new or updated displays and
reports to support the following new z/VM V5.3
functions:
- Linux monitor data for virtual CPUs and steal time counters
- Monitor data for virtual network devices and virtual
switches
- Monitor data for guest simulation of zAAPs, zIIPs and
IFLs
- Monitor data for up to 32 processors in a z/VM image
Enhanced guest configuration
z/VM V5.3 helps improve the guest LOGON process by providing a new
COMMAND statement in a virtual machine definition or
profile to configure the virtual machine. Any
form of a CP command may be invoked using this capability, including
privileged class commands (such as SET RESERVED), on behalf of the
virtual machine, eliminating the need to provide
some other method to configure it.
Additional DVD installation options
z/VM V5.3 provides some additional capabilities for installing z/VM
from DVD. The second-level DVD installation process
now supports moving the
contents to an FTP server directory or a second-level CMS minidisk and
then installing from the server or minidisk. This provides more
options for customer environments and can facilitate
electronic delivery of z/VM.
Enhanced status information
The automated service command, SERVICE, has been enhanced to display
the service and production levels for preventive service (RSU) and
displays an applied, built and production status for corrective
service. This can provide a quicker and easier way to determine
service status.
RSCS repackaged as an optional feature
Remote Spooling Communications Subsystem (RSCS) V3.2.0 (5684-096)
has been repackaged and is now available for licensing under
International Program License Agreement (IPLA) terms and conditions.
RSCS Function Level 530 (FL530) is available as a priced, optional,
pre-installed feature of z/VM V5.3. Pricing is based on engine-based
Value Units and is available for both
IFL and standard processor configurations.
RSCS FL530 provides dynamic command authorization support
through a new server, RSCSAUTH, that runs as a disconnected z/VM
server and is authorized for all RSCS commands. This can
eliminate the
need to recycle RSCS when changing system and link authorizations.
RSCS is a z/VM networking program. It provides data file transfer
and print services to, from and through the z/VM system on which
it runs using both its own
and TCP/IP networks. It extends the scope of a single
system to an entire network of computers and devices. RSCS
transfers data (as spool files) between its local system and
remote devices and printers or other systems. It also acts as a
print server for remote printers attached to other VM systems or
a TCP/IP network.
Through RSCS, users can send and receive messages,
files, commands and print and submit jobs within their network.
The stand-alone RSCS V3.2.0 (5684-096) product is planned to be
withdrawn from marketing effective September 30, 2007.
New RACF Security Server for z/VM
With z/VM V5.3, the stand-alone RACF for VM V1.10.0 (5740-XXH)
product has been repackaged with new function added and is now
called the RACF Security Server for z/VM FL530 feature. It is
a priced, optional
feature and will operate only with z/VM V5.3.
The new RACF Security Server
feature includes support for mixed-case
passwords and password phrases. A password phrase is a string of up
to 100 characters, including blanks and can be used in addition to,
or in place of, the traditional 8-character password. An
installation exit is provided to help enable customers to define
rules governing the length and content of password phrases.
Additional password management enhancements have been added,
including:
- Validation of a password and password phrase using Diagnose X'88'
and the new DMSPASS CSL routine
- Operation with the new industry-standard LDAP server included in
z/VM V5.3 to enable remote management of passwords and selected
user attributes and to enable remote applications to perform
authorization and auditing using RACF for z/VM
- Access by password phrase,
allowing the removal of the
8-character password from a user ID
- Enhanced security of password reset operations, which
now removes the password completely, rather than
resetting the user password to the
default group name, as in prior releases
- Adding the user's password to the password history list when
the password is reset by an administrator
- Providing the capability for passwords to be set by administrators
or authorized password management applications without the need for
the user to immediately change the password on its first use,
improving the auditing of password changes.
To simplify analysis of the security audit trail, the RACF SMF
Unload utility has been updated to store the unloaded data in
industry-standard XML format, making it suitable to be examined by a
variety of applications, including XML browsers and
spreadsheets.
This new feature will be the base for all future RACF enhancements
on z/VM and works with the existing functions and features of z/VM
to provide improved discretionary and mandatory access controls,
separation of duties and auditability capabilities of z/VM.
IBM intends to withdraw
the stand-alone RACF for VM V1.10.0 (5740-XXH)
product from marketing on March 5, 2007 as announced in
Withdrawal Announcement A05-2122
dated December 5, 2006.
IBM intends to discontinue service support for
the stand-alone RACF for VM V1.10.0 (5740-XXH) product to be effective
May 5, 2008 as announced in
Withdrawal Announcement A07-0175
dated February 6, 2007.
U.S. Daylight Saving Time effect on z/VM
A provision of the U.S. Government's Energy Policy Act of 2005
and similar legislation enacted by the governments of Canada and
Bermuda
extends Daylight Saving Time (DST) by four weeks, beginning in 2007.
Starting in March 2007, Daylight Savings Time in the United States,
Canada and Bermuda will
begin on the second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in
November.
New sample system configuration file statements will be shipped
with z/VM V5.3. System programmers should change the dates that are
specified on TIMEZONE_BOUNDARY statements in the existing
system configuration files that their systems use.
For a complete description on the
changes to Daylight Saving Time in 2007, refer to:
- http://www.ibm.com/support/alerts/ca/en/daylightsavingstimealert.html
The Language Environment PTF for APAR VM64117 must be applied to
z/VM V5.1 and V5.2 and provides required changes for C/C++ library
functions. The PTF is integrated into z/VM V5.3.
If you observe DST, IBM recommends this PTF be installed and
applications restarted before March 11, 2007. For more detailed
information on how DST changes may affect your z/VM
installation, refer
to the z/VM Web site at
- http://ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zvm/service/DST2007.html
z/Architecture CMS shipped as a sample program
z/Architecture CMS is shipped as a sample program with z/VM V5.3
with no formal support available. This version of CMS runs
in z/Architecture 31-bit addressing mode and enables the use of
z/Architecture instructions, including those that operate on 64-bit
registers, by CMS programs, while permitting most existing
ESA/390-architecture CMS programs to continue to function
without change. z/Architecture CMS does
not exploit or explicitly support 64-bit
addressing mode but it does not impose serious restrictions on
programs that enter 64-bit addressing mode themselves. For
additional z/Architecture CMS details and usage restrictions, refer
to the z/VM Web site at:
- http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zvm/related/zcms/
Withdrawal of the ROUTED and BOOTP servers
The ROUTED and BOOTP servers have been removed from z/VM V5.3. This
satisfies the Statement of General Direction made in
Software Announcement A05-0971
dated July 27, 2005.
MPRoute is the only dynamic routing server supported by TCP/IP for
z/VM FL530.
The following features support use by people with disabilities:
- Operation by keyboard alone
- Optional font enlargement and high-contrast display settings
- Screen readers and screen magnifiers tested for use by people
with visual impairment
z/VM V5 offers National Language translation for message
repositories,
help files and other panels or files depending on the function
translated.
To receive the translated help files for
DFSMS/VM(TM) in Kanji, you must order the no-charge optional
feature using the z/VM V5 System Delivery Option (SDO).
You will also receive the base DFSMS/VM feature when ordering the
DFSMS/VM Kanji feature.
The DirMaint Feature for z/VM provides National Language translation for
DirMaint
messages in Kanji and is automatically included with this feature.
z/VM V5.3
is planned to be available June 29, 2007, in the above languages.
Engine-based Value Unit pricing for z/VM V5.3
is designed to provide a decreasing
price curve as hardware capacities and workload grow, which may help
improve price/performance.
There may also be a price benefit when you
grow your capacity. Additional capacity is not priced
starting at the base with a flat price per unit. Instead,
additional capacity is priced starting at the
capacity (processors) on which z/VM V5
has already been installed, which may result in a lower unit price.
Note: Value Units of a given product cannot be
exchanged, interchanged or aggregated with Value Units of another
product.
A no-charge Subscription and Support registration record will be
established for each designated machine where z/VM V5.3
and the priced, optional features of
DirMaint, RSCS, RACF Security Server and the Performance Toolkit for VM
are running. These no-charge Subscription
and Support registration records will be linked to the billable
Subscription and Support and all billable Subscription and Support
within the scope of the engine-based Value Units aggregation will be
linked together.
Subscription and Support is an annual charge and should be kept at
an annual term.
The Information Technology industry has recognized the business
value of exploiting virtualization technologies on any and all
server platforms. IBM mainframe products have enjoyed high
levels of server virtualization technology for many years. z/VM
V5.3 is the latest offering of industry-acclaimed server
virtualization support available for IBM System z. Building on a
40-year history of innovation, z/VM is becoming an ever more
popular component of on demand System z computing solutions.
The success of Linux on System z can be largely
attributed to the business
value that Linux-based solutions derive from the
IBM mainframe virtualization
technology provided by z/VM and IBM System z servers. z/VM
technology offers clients the ability to
host a large number
of Linux servers on a single mainframe while also providing an
operational environment that is well-suited for on demand computing:
highly flexible, adaptable and efficient.
z/VM V5 offers new levels of price/performance, functional
capabilities and hardware exploitation that are expected to increase
the attractiveness of deploying Linux solutions on the mainframe.
Clients can
add capacity to IBM mainframe
servers for hosting Linux-on-z/VM
workloads by configuring their servers with Integrated Facility for
Linux (IFL) processors.
The z/VM V5 pricing model can make it more feasible for clients to
add
z/VM virtualization technology to their standard-processor environment
(compared to the pricing models of z/VM V3 and V4). This helps enable
clients to use z/VM to host workloads that cannot run on IFL processors,
such as z/OS® , z/OS.e, VSE/ESA(TM) , z/VSE(TM) ,
TPF or z/TPF, to
consolidate existing VM/ESA® or z/VM V3 and V4 workloads onto a
single larger System z server.
z/VM V5 is the follow-on product for VM/ESA, z/VM V3 and z/VM V4.
z/VM V5 requires z/Architecture (64-bit) for execution; therefore, it
runs only on z9 EC, z9 BC, z990, z900, z890 and z800.
z/VM V5 provides additional support and exploitation
opportunities for many users who have built enterprise-wide
automation and infrastructure
enhancements on the VM platform in support
of their applications, database systems and on demand business
solutions.
z/VM V5 is intended to address the following situations:
- Running more Linux server images on a single System z
server. Considerably more images than are currently
supported by the LPAR mode of
operation (up to 60 on z9 EC,
up to 30 on z9 BC, z990 and z890 and up to 15 on all other
zSeries servers) can be achieved
with z/VM guest support. These Linux on System z server images
can be deployed on standard processors (CPs) or IFL processors with z/VM V5.
Running multiple Linux
images on an IFL-configured z/VM system may not
increase the IBM software
charges of your existing System z9 or
zSeries environment. z/OS, z/OS.e, z/VM, TPF,
z/TPF, VSE/ESA, z/VSE or Linux clients can add z/VM V5
running on IFL processors to their environment without
increasing IBM software costs on the standard processors (CPs).
- Moving selected Linux, Windows and UNIX workloads to
a single System z
server while maintaining distinct server images
and current LAN topology.
This ability can help reduce systems-management complexity. Since the
number of real hardware servers and associated
physical LANs is reduced, cost savings may be realized
by managing large server farms deployed on
virtual servers instead of using multiple hardware servers. Deploying
Linux workloads on z/VM V5 is particularly attractive if they interact
with applications or data located on the same System z server.
- Enhancing virtual networking. z/VM virtual switch support provides
external connectivity for guest LANs through an OSA-Express adapter
without requiring a VM or Linux router virtual machine.
- Consolidating operating systems on the System z platform.
z/VM V5.3 can provide
more constraint relief than what was offered with z/VM V5.2.
This constraint relief is provided for both ESA/390 and
z/Architecture guest operating systems such as Linux for System z,
TPF, z/TPF, z/OS, z/OS.e, VSE/ESA or z/VSE.
z/VM V5.3 offers enhanced scalability support for CPUs, memory, I/O,
and networking, making it easier to consolidate workloads onto a
single z/VM image.
- Migrating from VM/ESA to z/VM V5. This helps enable:
- More memory to cache CMS minidisks by exploiting memory above 2 GB
for minidisk cache
- Connectivity (TCP/IP) enhancements and additional device support
- Added security capabilities
with SSL-protected TCP/IP network traffic, such as
Telnet sessions and Web transactions
- Migrating to supported releases of z/OS or z/OS.e using z/VM V5.
This can provide added flexibility for migration, production and
testing.
- Enhancing guest Parallel Sysplex® support in z/VM with the
exploitation of the z/Architecture. This can enable addressability of
larger amounts of real and virtual memory, allowing the development and
testing of 64-bit Parallel Sysplex applications in a guest environment.
- Common Criteria Certification:
IBM intends to evaluate z/VM V5.3
with the RACF Security Server optional feature for conformance to the
Controlled Access Protection Profile (CAPP) and Labeled Security
Protection Profile (LSPP) of the Common Criteria standard for IT
security, ISO/IEC 15408, at Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL4).
This new SOD represents a modification to IBM's previously expressed
Statement of Direction of July 27, 2005,
which stated IBM's intent "to
evaluate z/VM V5.2 with the RACF for z/VM optional feature for
conformance to the Controlled Access Protection Profile (CAPP) and
Labeled Security Protection Profile (LSPP) of the Common Criteria
standard for IT security, ISO/IEC 15408, at Evaluation Assurance
Level 4 (EAL4)." Based on additional assessment of requirements, IBM
no longer intends to evaluate z/VM V5.2.
- OSA-Express2 link aggregation and failover support:
IBM intends
to provide virtual switch (VSWITCH) support for IEEE Standard
802.3ad Link Aggregation in z/VM V5.3. This support is designed
to allow all OSA-Express2 features that are associated with a virtual
switch to be grouped and used as a single "fat pipe," helping to
increase bandwidth and provide near-seamless failover in the
event of a link failure. This z/VM support requires associated
OSA-Express2 support that is
planned to be available on IBM System z9 servers.
- RPC server support for the Systems Management API:
IBM intends to withdraw support for the
RPC/CSL interface from the Systems Management API server in a
future z/VM release.
- TCP/IP functions:
IBM intends to withdraw support for the
Network Database (NDB) system, Trivial File Transfer Protocol
(TFTP) server, X25 interface (including the X25IBI server) and
SNALINK server in a future z/VM release.
- 3480 distribution medium:
IBM intends to withdraw 3480 tape as a
distribution medium in a future z/VM release. IBM plans to
continue distributing z/VM on 3590 tape and on DVD,
and to be available for
electronic delivery from ShopzSeries.
All statements regarding IBM's plans, directions and intent
are subject to change or withdrawal without notice.

OSA's ports is being shared by more than one host program or if an ATM
OSA-2 is being used as a LAN Emulation Client (LEC).
For additional information on OSA/SF, refer to
Hardware Announcement A03-0620
dated May 13, 2003.
TCP/IP for z/VM V5.3 Program Requirements
TCP/IP for z/VM V5.3
has the following additional program requirements:
- If the SSL server is to be run, one of the following Linux
distributions must be installed and configured for exclusive use
by the SSL server:
- Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 9 Service Pack 3
(64-bit)
- Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 9 Service Pack 3
(31-bit)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Version 4 U4) (64-bit)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Version 4 U4) (31-bit)
- If a primary or secondary domain name server
(not a caching-only name server)
or the network database server is to be run:
- IBM DB2 Server for VSE & VM V7.1 (5697-F42) or later
- For SNAlink LU0 interface support:
- ACF/VTAM® for VM/ESA V4 (5654-010)
- For X.25 interface support:
- X.25 NCP Packet Switching Interface (NPSI) V3.4 (5688-035),
or later, for 3745
- Corresponding levels of ACF/VTAM and ACF/NCP that support NPSI
- If programs are developed in C:
- IBM C for VM/ESA V3.1 (5654-033) or C/C++ for z/VM V1.1 (5654-A22)
- If programs are developed in Pascal:
- IBM VS Pascal V1.2 (5668-767) Compiler and Library
Linux Program Requirements
Linux for System z
is not provided with z/VM V5. In order to operate
Linux as a guest of z/VM, Linux must be
obtained from Linux distribution partners.
For specific function and for the most current information
on Linux distributions, refer to:
- http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/linux/dist.html
- z/VM V5 will operate only on hardware
servers that support z/Architecture
(64-bit), including z9 EC, z9 BC,
z990, z890, z900 and z800.
- Linux is the only guest operating system z/VM will support on IFL
processors (other than z/VM V4 or z/VM V5 itself).
- Use of IFL processors on z800 and z900 machines requires LPAR mode.
Customers who choose to add IFL processors
to a z800 or z900 machine running in basic mode will also have to run
their operating system on the standard engine(s)
in LPAR mode. This is not a consideration for z9 EC, z9 BC,
z990 and z890 machines,
which do not have basic mode.
- z/VM V5 does not provide support for V=R or V=F guest images.
Customers running V=R and V=F guests
should consider this when migrating to z/VM V5.
The increase in processor requirements to run a V=V guest
that was previously run as V=R,
may be significant due to the loss of various hardware assists.
System performance depends on the hardware resources allocated to
z/VM V5.3 and on the level of activity within each Linux image.
The results of the performance evaluation of z/VM V5.3 is planned to be
available on June 29, 2007 in the z/VM Performance Report
on the z/VM Web site at:
- http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zvm/perf/docs/
Additional z/VM performance information is available
on the z/VM Web site at:
- http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zvm/perf/tips/
For assistance in understanding the performance implications for
a particular situation, contact your IBM representative or
your IBM Business Partner.

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 V5 supports only XA-, ESA- and XC-mode virtual machines.
z/VM V5 does not support 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 your applications, if
possible. If problems persist, call IBM Service for
assistance.
For technical support or assistance, go to
- http://www.ibm.com/support
or contact your IBM representative for additional assistance.
z/VM V5.3
The z/VM V5.3 product package is distributed with the following:
3590 Media
Starting with the delivery of z/VM V4.3,
z/VM was made available on 3590 media.
With this capability, multiple physical tape images can now be delivered
on consolidated (or stacked) tape(s) for z/VM. For example, the
multiple tape volumes previously
required to deliver the z/VM base system media
on 3480 now only require a single 3590 tape.
This is made possible by taking advantage of the larger storage capacity
of the 3590 media. Additionally, optional products, offered in the z/VM
SDO, may now be stacked on a physical tape, labeled "z/VM Licensed
Program Products." In order to determine the contents of these stacked
tapes, you MUST refer back to the media report included with
your shipment.
The announced program uses
the security and auditability features inherent in the virtual machine
and the System/370(TM) , ESA/370 and ESA/390 architectures and z/Architecture.
The security and auditability of z/VM V5 are the same for ESA/390 and
z/Architecture.
The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection and
implementation of security features, administrative procedures and
appropriate controls in application systems and
communication facilities.

The products and features in this announcement have
one pricing metric - Value Units based on the number of processors.
Value Unit pricing with a decreasing one-time charge (OTC)
price per engine,
subject to the tiers as documented in Value Unit Exhibit VUE021,
is available for z/VM V5 for the optional
features of DirMaint, RSCS, RACF and the Performance Toolkit for VM and for
S&S entitlements at initial order
of z/VM V5 or its features.
Value Units of a given product
cannot be exchanged, interchanged or aggregated with
Value Units of another product.
Engine-based Value Unit pricing of z/VM V5
is different than MSU-based
Value Unit pricing, which is available on other IBM software products.
Program Pricing Metric
Program Name Number Description
------------ -------- ---------------
z/VM V5 5741-A05 Value Units
RSCS Feature 5741-A05 Value Units
RACF Security Server Feature 5741-A05 Value Units
DirMaint Feature 5741-A05 Value Units
Performance Toolkit for VM Feature 5741-A05 Value Units
Value Unit pricing for z/VM V5 provides a lower price
per processor as more Value Units are licensed with
z/VM V5.
You may aggregate the capacity for all the processors
running z/VM V5 across the enterprise to achieve
a more economical price.
There may also be a price benefit when you increase
your capacity. Additional capacity is not priced
starting at the base with a flat price per unit. Instead,
additional capacity is priced starting at the
capacity on which z/VM V5
has already been installed, which may result in a lower unit
price.
Translation from Processor to Value Units
The total number of engine-based Value Units is calculated according
to the following example.
If the customer has installed six processors
and will be operating z/VM V5 on all six processors,
the applicable Value Units would be:
(3 * 10) + (3 * 9) = 57 Value Units
The following z/VM V5 products and optional features
and their associated
Subscription and Support (S&S) are affected by the metric
change from a "flat per-processor price" to "engine-based Value
Units":

The products in this announcement are available with IBM Software
On/Off Capacity on Demand (On/Off CoD). If you are running On/Off
CoD on your IBM servers, you can now also pay for
z/VM V5
on a processor per-day basis during your peak periods.
For
additional information on On/Off CoD, refer to
Software Announcement A03-1028
dated August 12, 2003.
The Performance Toolkit for VM feature
provides a variety of reports on system performance
to help manage your performance more efficiently.
The Performance Toolkit for VM feature was derived from
the IBM FCON/ESA program (5788-LGA) and made available with z/VM V4.4.
It was updated in z/VM V5.1 to provide functional equivalence
to the Performance Reporting Facility (PRF) priced optional feature
of z/VM V4.
The Performance Toolkit for VM feature is considered to be a
program update for the RealTime Monitor (RTM) and/or the
Performance Reporting Facility (PRF) features of
z/VM V4 as defined
in the IBM International Agreement for Acquisition of Support,
Z125-6011. Therefore,
any existing z/VM V4 customer who has purchased a Subscription & Support (S&S)
license for the RTM or PRF
feature is entitled to receive a no-charge upgrade
for the Performance Toolkit for VM feature when ordering z/VM V5.3.
The priced, optional RTM and PRF features
are not available with z/VM V5 nor can they be licensed on z/VM V5.
Toolkit
IBM strongly encourages customers to order S&S for the Performance Toolkit
for VM
feature.
S&S provides an easy and effective way for customers to access,
during the coverage period, eligible new versions and releases
of the Performance Toolkit for VM feature. S&S also provides the same level of
support that was available when customers paid a monthly license charge
for products with the
IBM Customer Agreement software license.
The High Level Assembler (5696-234) or an equivalent product
is required for z/VM to:
- Apply corrective service to the RACF Security Server for
z/VM associated CP parts
- Change exit routines or perform local modifications for
any IBM VM product or vendor product
For pricing, terms and conditions or questions about licensing
on IFL processors, customers should contact an IBM
representative or Business Partner.
Processor
A processor (commonly called a CPU or core) is a functional unit
within a computing device that interprets and executes instructions. A
processor consists of at least an instruction control unit and one or
more arithmetic or logic unit. With multicore technology each core
is considered a processor. With full capacity licensing, a Proof of
Entitlement (PoE) must be acquired for all activated processors
available for use on the server.
The programs in this announcement have Value Unit-Based pricing.

5741-A05 z/VM V5 VUE021
For each System z
IPLA program with Value Unit pricing, the quantity
of that program needed to satisfy applicable IBM terms and conditions
is referred to as the 'required license capacity'. Your required license
capacity is based upon the following factors:
- the System z IPLA program you select
- the applicable Value Unit Exhibit
- the applicable Terms
Value Unit exhibit VUE021
Engine-based Value Units for a specified number of
processors are determined by the following table:

When ordering z/VM V5 or the
optional features to operate on IFL processors
for a single server within the enterprise,
you must specify Value Units
equal to the Value Units to cover the number of
IFL processors on your
z9 EC, z9 BC, z990, z900, z890 or z800 server.
When ordering z/VM V5 or the optional features
to operate on standard processors (CPs) AND IFL processors
for a single server within the enterprise,
you must specify Value Units
equal to the Value Units to cover the total number of
processors (standard plus IFL) on your
z9 EC, z9 BC, z990, z900, z890 or z800 server.
For a single server in an enterprise,
the number of Value Units ordered
for any optional features must be equal to the number of Value Units
ordered for the base z/VM V5 product.
The quantity ordered cannot exceed the maximum number of
processors per server. The number of processors for a single server to be
used to calculate Value Units should not be more than:

The optional features DirMaint, RSCS, RACF,
and the Performance
Toolkit for VM are pre-installed on the base system media.
Ordering these features establishes
a license for entitlement purposes and you will also receive
a program directory for the optional features ordered.
If you intend to use DirMaint, RSCS, RACF,
or the Performance Toolkit for VM,
now or at a later date, you must establish
a license for billing and shipment of publications.
The Performance Toolkit for VM feature
is considered a program update for the RTM and PRF features as defined
in the IBM International Agreement for Acquisition of Support, Z125-6011
Therefore,
any existing z/VM V4 customers, with licenses for the RTM or PRF
features, who have also purchased S&S for either the RTM
or PRF feature, are entitled to receive a no-charge upgrade
for the Performance Toolkit for VM feature when ordering z/VM V5.
On October 26, 2005, the German Federal Office of Information
Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, (BSI))
issued its certification that z/VM V5.1 with the RACF for z/VM
feature conforms to the requirements of the
Controlled Access Protection Profile (CAPP) and the Labeled Security
Protection Profile (LSPP), both at Evaluation Assurance Level 3+.
Therefore, z/VM V5.1 and its
priced, optional features, DirMaint, RACF and the Performance Toolkit for VM,
known as
Common Criteria Certification feature,
can be ordered if you require a certified level of z/VM.
The Recommended Service Update (RSU) Level
5103RSU (PTF UM97510) plus the RACF for z/VM PTF for APAR VM63613
is required to maintain certification.
In
Software Announcement A06-0607
dated April 27, 2006,
IBM announced plans to withdraw the Common Criteria Certification feature from
marketing on
September 30, 2007. This withdrawal date has changed and IBM now
intends to withdraw the Common Criteria Certification feature
from marketing on June 15, 2007.
IBM plans to support the Common Criteria Certification feature until September
30, 2007.
IBM intends to evaluate z/VM V5.3
with the RACF Security Server optional feature for conformance to the
Controlled Access Protection Profile (CAPP) and Labeled Security
Protection Profile (LSPP) of the Common Criteria standard for IT
security, ISO/IEC 15408, at Evaluation Assurance Level 4 (EAL4).
This new SOD represents a modification to IBM's previously expressed
Statement of Direction of July 27, 2005 which stated IBM's intent "to
evaluate z/VM V5.2 with the RACF for z/VM optional feature for
conformance to the Controlled Access Protection Profile (CAPP) and
Labeled Security Protection Profile (LSPP) of the Common Criteria
standard for IT security, ISO/IEC 15408, at Evaluation Assurance
Level 4 (EAL4)." Based on additional evaluation of requirements, IBM
no longer intends to evaluate z/VM V5.2.

Examples
- Example 1 - You currently do not have z/VM V5 licensed on any
processors
on any System z9 or zSeries server
within your enterprise.
Your engine-based Value Unit for licensing (5741-A05) is 0.
If you will be licensing z/VM V5 and
designating two IFL processors
on a single System z9 or zSeries server within your enterprise
as running z/VM V5,
you will specify the disk type to which you will install
and the desired distribution medium. When licensing using 5741-A05,
capacity to be specified in engine-based Value Units
would be (2 * 10) or 20
resulting in a total of 20 Value Units.
- Example 2 - You currently are not running z/VM V5
on standard processors (CPs)
but you are running z/VM V5 on
one IFL processor (probably running Linux on System z)
on a single System z9 or zSeries server within your enterprise.
Your engine-based Value Unit for licensing (5741-A05) is 10.
If you will be licensing z/VM V5 and
designating two additional IFL processors
on a single System z9 or zSeries server within your enterprise
as running z/VM V5,
you will specify the disk type to which you will install
and the desired distribution medium. When licensing using 5741-A05,
additional capacity to be specified in engine-based Value Units
would be (2 * 10) or 20
resulting in a total of 30 Value Units.
- Example 3 - You currently are running z/VM V5 on two
standard processors (CPs)
on a single System z9 or zSeries server within your enterprise.
Your engine-based Value Unit for 5741-A05 is 20.
If you will be licensing z/VM V5
and designating two additional standard processors (CPs)
on a single System z9 or zSeries server within your enterprise
as running z/VM V5,
you will specify the disk type to which you will install
and the desired distribution medium. When licensing using 5741-A05,
additional capacity to be specified in engine-based Value Units
would be (1 * 10) + (1 * 9) or 19
resulting in a total of 39 Value Units.
- Example 4 - You currently are running z/VM V5 on two
standard processors
and on one IFL processor (probably
running Linux for System z)
on a single System z9 or zSeries server within your enterprise.
Your engine-based Value Unit for 5741-A05 is 30.
If you will be licensing z/VM V5 for four additional
processors and designating one as a standard
processor and the remaining three as IFL processors
on a single System z9 or zSeries server within your enterprise
as running z/VM V5,
you will specify the disk type to which you will install
and the desired distribution medium. When licensing using 5741-A05,
additional capacity to be specified in engine-based Value Units
would be (3 * 9) + (1 * 8) or 35
resulting in a total of 65 Value Units.
- Example 5 - You currently do not have z/VM V5 licensed on any
processors
on any System z9 or zSeries server within your enterprise.
Your engine-based Value Unit is 0.
If you will be licensing z/VM V5
and designating two standard processors
on one System z9 or zSeries server and on
an additional System z9 or zSeries server
within your enterprise, you will license z/VM V5 on
one standard processor and on
two IFL processors,
you will specify the disk type to which you will install
and the desired distribution medium. When licensing using 5741-A05,
additional capacity to be specified in engine-based Value Units
would be (3 * 10) + (2 * 9) or 48
resulting in a total of 48 Value Units
because of aggregating the licenses within the enterprise.

Program Name: z/VM Subscription & Support
Program Number: 5741-SNS
Support for z/VM V5 is provided and licensed under the
IBM International Agreement for Acquisition of Support
(Z125-6011).
This 5741-SNS order establishes entitlement records
as well as support for z/VM V5.3 or the optional features.
If an 5741-SNS
order is declined, you will only be entitled
to support under the basic warranty for z/VM V5.3 (5741-A05).
z/VM has adopted the support lifecycle extensions as announced in
Software Announcement A03-0773
dated August 12, 2003, which provide for 3 years of technical
support after general availability. Therefore,
- central service for z/VM V5.3 (5741-A05) is planned to be available
by IBM until September 30, 2010.
- central service for z/VM V5.2 (5741-A05) is planned to be available
by IBM until April 30, 2009.
- central service for the Common Criteria Certification feature
(5741-A05) is planned to be available
by IBM until September 30, 2007.
- central service for z/VM V4.4 (5739-A03)
was discontinued on September 30, 2006.
The z/VM S&S provides:
- Corrections that fix substantial deviations of unmodified products
from the then-current code, publications and informal documentation
(that is, release notes and memos).
- Software product updates that are improvements, extensions and
other changes IBM, at its discretion, deems to be reasonable.
- Recommended Service Updates (RSUs), new versions,
and new releases at no additional charge.
- Technical support:
- A reasonable amount of remote assistance via telephone,
mail, facsimile (fax) or e-mail to address suspected IBM
program defects, where available, during normal IBM
business hours from Monday through
Friday, except local holidays. Exceptions from
normal IBM business hours are
Severity 1 (high impact) problems. Support for high impact suspected
IBM defects is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- Temporary fixes for problems (where known),
where they exist.
On-site (local) support, although available, is provided
as part of the IBM portfolio of fee-based services.
z/VM S&S annual support charges, based on the number of Value Units
specified 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 DirMaint, RSCS, RACF or the Performance Toolkit for VM,
you must take specific action to decline
this support.
A no-charge S&S registration record will be established
on each designated machine where z/VM V5
and the priced, optional features of DirMaint, RSCS,
RACF and the Performance Toolkit for VM
are running. These no-charge S&S registration records will be
linked to the billable S&S and all billable S&S within the scope of the
engine-based Value Units aggregation will be linked together.
Within the scope of an enterprise aggregation, the number of Value
Units ordered for the S&S license(s) must equal the number of Value
Units ordered for the OTC license(s).
The quantity ordered cannot exceed the maximum number of
processors per server. The number of processors for a single server to be
used to calculate Value Units should not be more than:

IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support
services to put you on the road to higher system availability.
Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive,
no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available
for IBM servers. These services provide the opportunity for greater
system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive
monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but
complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic
Services Agent.
The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that
replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM
Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier
access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.
The Electronic Service Agent is no-additional-charge software that
resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system
inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable.
The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to
IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver
proactive service that may result in higher system availability and
performance. In addition, information collected through the Service
Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when
they help answer your questions or diagnose problems.
