  The IBM z13 will be the last z Systems server to support running
  an operating system in ESA/390 architecture mode. All future
  servers will support only operating systems that run entirely in
  z/Architecture mode when running in a logical partition.
  This APAR (VM65856) enhances z/VM to run in z/Architecture-only
  environments.

Comments

• This APAR (VM65856) enhances the z/VM V6.3 CP hypervisor
  (CPLOAD), the Stand-Alone Program Loader (SAPL), and DASD Dump
  Restore (DDR) to run entirely in z/Architecture mode.
  
  Stand-alone dump support for environments that run entirely in
  z/Architecture mode requires APARs VM65921 (CP) and VM65922
  (CMS).
  
  You should regenerate CPLOAD, reinstall SAPL via the SALIPL
  utility, reinstall DDR and Stand-Alone Dump so your system is
  ready to run on a z/Architecture-only machine. Note that
  IPLable installation DVDs from z/VM V6.3.0 will not IPL on
  z/Architecture-only machines. z/VM V6.4.0 is required to
  IPL from DVD and install z/VM on z/Architecture-only machines.
  
  
  CP Commands and Utility Changes
  
    SALIPL
  
    The SALIPL utility documentation is changed to describe that
    x'2000' is the default ORIGIN address when SAPL runs in a
    z/Architecture-only environment.
  
    CP QUERY PROCESSOR
  
    The CP QUERY PROCESSOR command documentation is changed to
    show "GENERAL" as a possible value for the PARTITION MODE
    setting in the command response.
  
  CP Message Changes
  
    A new variation is added to message HCP6507E:
  
      -  HCP6507E Multithreading could not be enabled because
         the logical partition mode is GENERAL
  
    The User Response of existing message HCP9000W was changed
    to delete information that is not relevant on modern
    processors and direct the operator to take a stand-alone
    dump.
  
    Information in the User Response of existing message HCP9007W
    about taking a dump was enhanced.
  
    The explanation of existing message HCP9012W was changed to
    delete information that CP must switch back to ESA/390 mode.
  
    The explanation of existing messages HCP9020W/HCP9021W were
    clarified to explain when the message identifier can be used.
    Also, information in the User Response about taking a dump was
    enhanced.
  
    A new variation is added to message HCP9030W in order to show
    that the Stand-Alone Program Loader (SAPL) also uses this
    message.
  
    Information in the User Response of existing message HCP9035W
    that explains what value should be specified for CP's load
    origin was enhanced.
  
    A new variation is added to message HCP9037W in order to show
    that the Stand-Alone Program Loader (SAPL) and Stand-Alone DDR
    also use this message.
  
    A new variation is added to message HCP9039W in order to show
    that the Stand-Alone Program Loader (SAPL) also uses this
    message.
  
    Information in the Explanation and System Programmer Response
    of existing message HCP9049W that explains the load origin was
    corrected.
  
    The wording of existing message HCP9041W stays the same but
    its Explanation and User Response will change in order to
    reflect the new places in CP that use it.
  
    The User Response of existing message HCP9049W was changed to
    add the term GENERAL as a valid LPAR Partition Type.
  
    HCP9061W is no longer used by CP or SAPL but is now used by
    old Stand-alone dump to tape (HCPSAD).
  
    New Message HCP9062W is issued when a program loaded by
     SAPL or CP Bounce Processing encounters a program check
     before that program has extablished its own Program
     New PSW
