    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'.

    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...

    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...

    Enhance z/VM RACF to have a RACF Remote Sharing Facility Feature

    Please enhance z/VM RACF to have a Remote Sharing Facility like RACF for z/OS and integrate with the z/OS RACF Remote Sharing Facility network.

    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...
