Comments
Support is provided for the IBM Adapter for NVMe PCI function on IBM LinuxONE servers as follows: ---- z/VM HCD and the CP DEFINE PCIF dynamic I/O command were updated to provide the ability to dynamically create LPAR access to the new NVMe PCIe adapter type. - CP was updated to recognize the new NVMe PCI Function type and allow an NVMe function to be VARYed online and attached to a guest. - The QUERY PCIF command response was updated to display the new NVMe PCI Function type for an NVMe PCI function. - The QUERY VIRTUAL PCIF command response was updated to display the new NVMe PCI Function type for an NVMe PCI function attached to a guest virtual machine. - Existing montior records that include PCI Function types were updated to include the NVMe PCI function type. ------------------ Publication Updates: The CP Command and Utilities Reference manual for z/VM 6.4.0 and z/VM 7.1.0. were updated to include the NVMe PCI function type on the CP DEFINE PCIFUNCTION command.
