    zVM support dynamic activation of non subchannel set 0 devices

    A VM LPAR supports one CSS but it can be 0,1,2,3 but only supports one SS via HCD - 0. Add support for additional SS

    Displaying configured cipher suites in configured order under SYSTEM DTCPARMS.

    Specifying a preferred order of cipher suites under SYSTEM DTCPARMS is not the exact order that is displayed from z/VM systems. The 'ssla q status details' command list an order that is not configured. Even presenting the cipher suites order to ne...

    z/VM TCPIP utilities (PING FTP TELNET TRACERTE) use the first address returned from a DNS server. This may be an IPV6 address - if the originating system is only IPV4 the result is "EDC8118I Network is unreachable". This can be bypassed by using the ADDRTYPE arg but we would prefer smarter DNS lookup. z/OS and zLinux handle this without using ADDRTYPE.

    See "Your idea".

    Install correct USER DIRECT when selecting non-SSI install

    When installing zVM 7.3 we chose the option non-SSI install, but the USER DIRECT that was included is in the format of SSI/SSI Ready. This means that when companies grow their system beyond the very limited 8 nodes of SSI they will have to manuall...

    z/VM support of SuperPAV

    DS8880 (DS8884 and DS8886) and z/OS supports SuperPAV. z/VM does not support SuperPAV. More Alias required per LCU. Support of SuperPAV will relieve UCB/address constraint.

    z/VM support of thin provisioned ECKD Volumes | HCP9050W CP-OWNED volume is on a Space-Efficient DASD.

    z/VM does not support IPL from Thin thin provisioned ECKD Volumes. Preconfigured DS8880 (with thin provisioned) can't be used for z/VM system disks. Preconfigured HDS VSP G1000 (with thin provisioned) works fine for z/VM system disks (HDS VSP G100...

    CPHX enhancement

    CPHX should be expanded to support more options of the VARY command. For example, VARY <online|offline>PATH can not be halted. Long running commands such as VARY with a 'range' should either run asynchronously, or be HALT'able'.

    Add System SSL API to Retrive All Certificates Presented by a ServerHello TLS Negotiation Message

    We use System SSL on z/OS V2R1 to diagnose and analyse problems involving TLS connections, certificates, and key rings. During a recent issue we were debugging, we discovered that the gsk_attribute_get_cert_info() API only returns the final server...

    Apply dynamically HW CRYPTO definitions to z/VM

    Changes in z System LPAR activation profile regarding CRYPTO definitions can not be made dynamically available to a LPAR running z/VM. Today it is necessary to shutdown the z/VM and perform a LPAR deactivate followed by LPAR activation. This is an...
