    CP directory statements USER and IDENTITY should allow at least 12 character passwords

    In case of z/VM a recovery, where RACF is uninitialized or unresponsive, RACF defers the LOGON authorisation decision to z/VM. Which means that an 8 character CP directory password is used to logon to z/VM. These passwords are expected to be saved...

    z/VM and related subsystems to report correct time

    ll human-readable (i.e. non-TOD format) date and time values generated by CP, CMS, GCS, REXX, DVF, TCP/IP, RACF, RSCS, and Performance Toolkit components of z/VM must be correct, where "correct" is defined by "UTC plus the time zone offset when th...

    Enable RoCE cards for LGR in SSI cluster

    Customer needs possibility to use RoCE cards in a SSI cluster. But it was only possible to use the RoCE Express cards in SSI clusters by defining a singleton domain. However, NRBs usecase is to have relocatable z/VM guests (i.e. perform a live mig...

    Enhance System SSL tracing

    Enhance z/OS System SSL trace to produce a more descriptive/interpreted display of all the fields for CLIENT-HELLO and SERVER-HELLO messages instead of just a hex dump.

    Allow SSI connection between z/VM systems using Hipersockets (direct and bridged)

    Requiring physical CTC connections for an SSI cluster within a single physical CEC incurs some cost for additional hardware (e.g. preferably 2 FICON cards for SPOF avoidance). Modifying ISFC communication to optionally use Hipersockets would allow...
