Installation Information


 This section contains changes to the product's Program Directory.
 and additional information which should be review before installing
 the product.  Please note the additional APARs required for older
 z/VM releases when they are members of a mixed environment SSI cluster.

 8. 17/11/07 z/VM Product Deliverable refreshed for z14
             The z/VM V6 R4.0 product deliverable was refreshed to
             support installation on the z14 processor.  If you have
             already ordered z/VM V6 R4.0 but have not yet installed it
             IBM recommends that you reorder the product and use the new
             deliverable when installing a new system or upgrading from
             z/VM V6 R2.0 or z/VM V6 R3.0.

 7. 16/11/22 Additional RACF requirements:
             The PTF for APAR VM65923 provides infrastructure support
             in z/VM V6.2, V6.3, and V6.4 for a future RACF enhancement
             in z/VM 6.4, and must be installed on all the members of an
             SSI cluster before any z/VM 6.4 member will be running with
             the future RACF enhancement.

 6. 16/11/18 Traditional install: IPWIZARD
             Before attempting to use the IPWIZARD utility to
             configure basic TCP/IP settings for a newly-installed
             system, please see the Installation information in
             the TCPIP PSP bucket for 640 (Upgrade TCPIP640,
             Subset VM640 at URL:
     http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1_TCPIP640_VM640)
             and follow the instructions it provides.

 5. 16/11/11 Upgrade Installation: Upgrading local modifications
             During Stage 1 of the Upgrade Installation procedure any
             local modifications on your current system should be
             copied to the new release local modification disks.  If
             your local modifications are described in local
             modification Version Vector Tables (VVTs) with a
             filetype starting with VVTLCL, they will be copied to
             the local modification disks (or SFS directories) for
             the new release by the automated procedure.  However,
             local modifications that are described in VVTs with
             a different filetype are not copied automatically.  You
             must copy those files to the new release disks at the
             end of Stage 1 and then rework them as necessary

 4. 16/11/11 Upgrade Installation: Required service before upgrade
             Before starting an upgrade installation to z/VM V6 R4.0
             ensure that the following service is installed on your
             z/VM V6 R2.0 or z/VM V6 R3.0 system(s).
             For z/VM V6 R2.0:
              o APAR VM65297 for DirMaint FL 620 (if DirMaint enabled)
              o APAR VM65718 for LE 6.2.0
             For z/VM V6 R3.0:
              o APAR VM65718 for LE 6.2.0

 3. 16/11/11 Upgrade Installation: Supported hardware considerations
             For z/VM V6R4.0, the z10 processor is not a supported
             environment.  The hardware location of your LPAR should
             be taken into consideration when upgrading to z/VM
             V6R4.0.
             Non SSI: You cannot upgrade a system that is running on
             unsupported hardware.  You must IPL the system you wish
             to upgrade on a supported processor before beginning
             the upgrade installation procedure.
             SSI: If any member of a multi-member SSI cluster is
             running on unsupported hardware, that member cannot be
             upgraded until it is IPLed on hardware that is supported
             for z/VM V6 R4.0.  Additionally, in order to upgrade any
             members that are running on supported hardware, the
             relocation domain for the MIGMAINT user on the system
             you are upgrading must be limited to just the system or
             systems that are running on supported hardware.  To
             modify the relocation domain for MIGMAINT, do the
             following:
             1) Log on to MIGMAINT on the system you are going to
                upgrade (MIGMAINT should have Class A privileges)
             2) Enter the following command:
                SET VMRELOCATE MIGMAINT DOMAIN <systemname>
                  where <systemname> is the name of the system you
                  are upgrading.

 2. 16/11/11 620 APARS required for a mixed release environment.
             Before installing a 640 system in a 620 SSI cluster
             or upgrading a member of a multi-member 620 SSI cluster
             see the z/VM Program Directory, section 5.1.6.1.1.

 1. 16/11/07 z/VM PTF and hardware bundle information:

             1) The z/VM V6.4 base components have the following
                additional program requirements:

             - The PTF for APAR VM65207 must be applied to z/VM V6.2
               or z/VM V6.3 when z/VM V6.4 is a guest of either release
               and will host a MACHINE Z guest.
             - If you intend to exploit HyperPAV paging from z/VM V6.4
               running as a guest of z/VM V6.3, you need to apply the
               PTF for APAR VM65748 to the z/VM V6.3 first level system.
             - The PTF for APAR VM65976 provides infrastructure support
               in z/VM V6.2, V6.3, and V6.4 for a future IBM z Systems
               server that satisfies the statement of direction for the
               removal of ESA/390 architecture support, and must be
               installed on all the members of an SSI cluster before any
               member will be running in the new server.
             - The PTF for APAR VM65867 is required on all z/VM V6.2
               and V6.3 systems in an SSI cluster that includes a z/VM
               V6.4 system

             2) Dynamic Partition Manager (DPM), provided with IBM z13
                z13S, and LinuxONE servers, is extended to support Linux
                running on z/VM V6.4 with SCSI storage attached with FCP
                channels.  z/VM 6.4 is supported in a DPM configuration
                with Driver 27 bundle S31.

             3) z/VM 6.4 supports guest exploitation of the
                Transactional Execution (TX) facility on the IBM z13,
                z13S, zEC12, zBC12, and LinuxONE servers with the
                following bundles applied:
                - Driver D27 bundle S17
                - Driver D22 bundle S45
                - Driver D15 bundle 71

General Information


 This section contains general information, i.e. SYSGEN hints/tips.

 1. 17/09/19 For EAV (extended address volume) support there are thre
             distinct PTFs to order:
                - UM35187 for CP
                - UM35204 for CMS
                - UI49579 for ICKDSF
             When ordering thes PTFs we recommend that you request
             requisites back to the 1301 service level.  This will
             ensure you not encounter missing requisites for the
             application of the ICKDSF PTF.
