6. 19/07/17 When performing a concurrent driver upgrade from driver D32
to driver D36, to avoid a loss of network connectivity from within
z/VM LPARs, please ensure the target driver D36 bundle is 19a or
higher. Prior to performing the driver upgrade, please ensure the
PTFs for the following z/VM APARs have been applied and z/VM LPARs
re-IPLed: VM66216 and PH04374 for z/VM 6.4 (included in the base
of z/VM 7.1), and PI99085 for z/VM 6.4 and 7.1
5. 18/10/02 With Driver D32 bundle 55a, the DPM ECKD support (aka DPM
Storage Management support) has been enabled. The migration will
take place automatically when installing the enablement bundle.
Depending on your current (i.e. prior to installing bundle 55a) FCP
configuration, changes in the SAN setup regarding zoning and
masking are recommended.
These changes are documented in the IBM Dynamic Partition Manager
(DPM) Guide (SB10-7170-01c)
4. 18/10/02 The following z/VM 6.4.0 and z/VM 7.1.0 service is
available in support of the IBM z14, IBM z14 Model ZR1, LinuxONE
Emperor II, and LinuxONE Rockhopper II servers running with
driver D36:
With the PTF for APAR VM66180 (and all required pre-requisite
APARs), z/VM V6.4 and z/VM V7.1 provide guest exploitation support
and Dynamic I/O support for the IBM Adapter for NVMe adapter
when installed in an IBM LinuxONE Emperor II or IBM LinuxONE
Rockhopper II server.
With the PTF for APAR PI99085, z/VM V6.4 and V7.1 provide support
for the OSA-Express7S 25GbE SR adapter within the TCP/IP stack and
NETSTAT command. PTF availability is planned during 1Q19 prior to
the April 9, 2019 adapter availability.
Support for driver D36 also requires the following z/VM 6.4 and 7.1
APARs:
- HCD support requires the PTF for APAR VM66130
- HCM support requires the PTF for APAR VM65598
- IOCP support requires the PTF for APAR VM66179
No additional z/VM 6.4 or z/VM 7.1 APARs beyond the previously
available z14 APARs are required to support:
- The 25GbE RoCE Express2 adapter
- The FCP Express32S adapter when installed in an IBM LinuxONE
Emperor II or IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper II server.
3. 18/06/01 z/VM 6.4.0 is the only z/VM release supporting the
IBM z14 Model ZR1 and LinuxONE Rockhopper II servers.
End of service for z/VM 6.3 was reached on December 31, 2017.
2. 18/05/22 The following z/VM 6.4.0 service is required in support
of the IBM z14 Model ZR1 and LinuxONE Rockhopper II servers
and must be applied before z/VM 6.4 is IPLed on these servers.
The PTF for APAR VM65639 (and all required pre-requisite APARs)
provides support for the IBM z14 Model ZR1 and LinuxONE
Rockhopper II servers and must be applied as part of upgrading
z/VM 6.4. This APAR provides changes to CP Monitor in support of
capacity planning for the IBM z14 Model ZR1 and LinuxONE
Rockhopper II servers.
1. 18/04/10 The following z/VM 6.4.0 service is available in support
of the IBM z14 Model ZR1 and LinuxONE Rockhopper II servers:
If you are upgrading to a z14 Model ZR1 or LinuxONE Rockhopper II
server, you MUST upgrade the Stand Alone
Program Loader (SAPL), or else you won't be able to IPL z/VM.
Refer to the red alert at the following URL:
http://www.vm.ibm.com/service/redalert/#SAPLZ14
for more information.
z/VM support for the IBM z14 Model ZR1 and LinuxONE
Rockhopper II servers:
With the PTF for APAR VM65942 (and all required pre-requisite APARs),
z/VM V6.4 provides support that will enable guests to exploit function
supported by z/VM on IBM z14 Model ZR1 and LinuxONE Rockhopper II
servers, which includes:
- z/Architecture support: The CP nucleus (CPLOAD), the z/VM
Stand-Alone Program Loader (SAPL) utility, DASD Dump Restore
(DDR), and the image files used by the Stand-Alone Dump
utility have been enhanced to run entirely in z/Architecture
mode. z/Architecture support for these utilities, the CP
nucleus are in the base of z/VM V6.4.
- New hardware facilities: z/VM will enable guest use of new
instructions and capabilities available on IBM z14 Model ZR1
and LinuxONE Rockhopper II servers:
- Miscellaneous-Instruction-Extensions Facility 2
- Vector Enhancements Facility 1
- Vector Packed Decimal Facility
- Message-Security-Assist Extensions 6, 7, and 8
- ESA/390-compatibility mode for guests: IBM z14 Model ZR1 and
LinuxONE Rockhopper II servers no longer support the full
ESA/390 architectural mode. However, IBM z14 Model ZR1 and
LinuxONE Rockhopper II servers do provide ESA/390-compatibility
mode, an environment supporting a subset of DAT-off ESA/390
applications in a hybrid architectural mode. z/VM will provide
the support necessary for DAT-off guests to run in this new
compatibility mode, which allows guests such as CMS, GCS, and
those that start in ESA/390 mode briefly before switching to
z/Architecture mode to continue to run on IBM z14 Model ZR1 and
LinuxONE Rockhopper II servers.
- The available PTF for APAR VM65976 provides infrastructure
support for ESA/390 compatibility mode within z/VM V6.2, V6.3,
and V6.4, and must be installed on all members of an SSI
cluster before any z/VM V6.4 member of the cluster is run on an
IBM z14 Model ZR1 and LinuxONE Rockhopper II servers.
- Support for Crypto Express6S: z/VM Support for the new Crypto
Express6S (CEX6S) adapter is included for both shared and
dedicated guest use. As with the prior crypto adapter support,
the CEX6S adapter can be configured as an accelerator or as an
IBM Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA) coprocessor for
shared or dedicated use by z/Architecture guests. When the
CEX6S adapter is configured as an IBM Enterprise
Public-Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS) #11 (EP11)
coprocessor, the domains on the adapter can be dedicated to
z/Architecture guests, but not shared. With Crypto Express6S
support and support for the new and enhanced CPACF functions,
z/VM V6.4 provide the prerequisite IBM z14 Model ZR1 and
LinuxONE Rockhopper II encryption support to enable
exploitation by guests in support of pervasive encryption.
- Crypto Clear Key ECC operations: Clear-key Elliptic Curve
Cryptographic (ECC) operations are supported for guests
enrolled in the z/VM-managed shared-crypto queue (APVIRT).
The shared-crypto queue must be configured with CCA
coprocessor domains in order for the function to be
virtualized for guest use.
- Dynamic I/O support: Dynamic I/O support is provided for
managing the configuration of OSA-Express6S OSD CHPIDs, FICON
Express16S+ FC and FCP CHPIDs, and Regional Crypto Enablement
(RCE), zHyperLink, and RoCE Express2 adapters. The available
PTF for APAR VM65865 provides dynamic I/O support for the
Coupling Express LR adapter in z/VM V6.4, and is applicable to
z13, z13s, z14, z14 Model ZR1, and LinuxONE servers.
- RoCE Express2 support: Guest exploitation support for RoCE
Express2 allows the adapters to be brought online and attached
to supporting guests for exploitation.
- Improved memory management efficiency: the IBM z14 Model ZR1
and LinuxONE Rockhopper II processor design allows greater
concurrency in address translation. This improvement may
increase z/VM workloads' performance compared to z13, IBM
LinuxONE Emporer I and Rockhopper I servers, particularly
when z/VM is configured to exploit multithreading.
Note, VM65942 has been found to have an error, and VM66071 has been
created to address it. The problem found does not involve z14 support
directly. It involves a scenario where older crypto adapters (Crypto
Express 2 or Crypto Express 3) are configured as an accelerator shared
amongst z/VM guests. Systems with newer crypto adapters (such as z13 or
z14) or z/VM LPARs without any crypto adapters configured will not
experience the problem.
Installing z/VM on the IBM z14 Model ZR1 and LinuxONE Rockhopper II
servers:
z/VM V6.4 can be installed directly on a z14 Model ZR1 and LinuxONE
Rockhopper II server with an image obtained from IBM after
August 25, 2017. The PTFs for APAR VM65942 and VM65639 must be applied
immediately after installing z/VM V6.4. APAR VM65942 is available on
RSU6403 (1702).
Alternate Subchannel Set Dynamic I/O support:
With the PTF for APAR VM65942, z/VM V6.4 provides dynamic I/O commands
within the z/VM hypervisor for supporting define, modify, and delete
of a device within either the default or alternate subchannel sets.
HCD support is currently not available.
Support for the z14 Model ZR1 and LinuxONE Rockhopper II servers also
require the following APARs:
- ICKDSF support requires APAR PI46151.
- EREP/VM support requires APAR VM65952.
- HCD support requires APARs VM65843, VM66015
- HCD support for LinuxONE Rockhopper II requires APARs
VM66009, VM66017
- HCM support requires APAR VM65266.
- IOCP support requires APAR VM65939.
- HLASM support requires APARs PI62275 and PI65715.
The following z/VM 6.4.0 exploitation items are available in support of
the IBM z14 Model ZR1 and LinuxONE Rockhopper II servers:
- APAR VM65986 provides support for guest exploitation of the z14
Instruction Execution Protection Facility. This facility provides
functionality to help improve the security of programs running on
IBM Z by allowing virtual memory elements to be identified as
containing only data. If an attempt is made to fetch an
instruction from an address in such an element or if an address
in such an element is the target of an execute-type instruction,
a Protection Exception will occur.
- APAR VM65987 provides support for guest exploitation of the z14
Guarded Storage Facility. This facility is designed to improve
the performance of garbage-collection processing by various
languages, in particular Java.
- APAR VM65993 provides support for encrypted paging, in support
of the IBM z14 pervasive encryption philosophy of encrypting data
in flight and at rest. Ciphering will occur as data moves between
active memory and a paging volume owned by z/VM. Included in the
support is the ability to dynamically control whether a running
z/VM system is encrypting this data.
