Correction of the z/VM and z/OS configuration must occur to allow for proper handling of the use of Summary Unit Check. To allow for proper handling of the Summary Unit Check, you have the following options:
  • Attach all unsupported devices to a single VM Guest.
  • Attach unsupported devices to multiple z/OS guests with the maintenance introducing this message propagated to all z/OS systems.
  • Define All devices behind a Logical Control Unit as unsupported. Devices can not be defined to z/VM as some supported and some unsupported.
