  *                 2. APVIRT crypto users using the SYSTEM      *

  1. List-directed IPL causes DEV keyword to be missing from
     INDICATE USER:
  
     Output of the INDICATE USER command response is missing
     the DEV keyword from the IPLSYS parameter after a list
     directed IPL.
  
  2. Incorrect count of shared APVIRT crypto resources via the
     SYSTEM CONFIG statement:
  
     This problem is caused by the processing of the system
     configuration statement, CRYPTO APVIRT, when a shared
     resource is specified twice. For example:
     CRYPTO APVIRT AP 03-15 03 DOM 65 29-40
     Notice that AP 03 is specified twice.
  
  3. PEVM66887 HCP1010W Loaded when IPLing with SYSG Console:
  
     VM66887 delivered a fix for "Console Override may fail when
     using CONS=SYSG in IPLPARMS", to rectify improper bit
     settings when multiple CONS= statements are specified in
     SAPL. However, the fix introduced a defect that changed the
     bit settings of the console control field, SYSCONSF, in such
     a way that causes CP not to recognize a SYSG console, if
     specified with the CONS=SYSG IPL parameter. This results in
     a HCP1010W wait state when IPLing with the CONS=SYSG console.
  

Problem conclusion

• 1. List-directed IPL causes DEV keyword to be missing from
     INDICATE USER:
  
     List directed IPL processing has been updated to turn on
     a bit signifying IPL from a device. This bit is later used
     by INDICATE USER to output the DEV keyword in the command
     response.
  
  2. Incorrect count of shared APVIRT crypto resources via the
     SYSTEM CONFIG statement:
  
     The fix skips incrementing the shared crypto resource count
     if the resource is already included in the shared pool.
  
  3. PEVM66887 HCP1010W Loaded when IPLing with SYSG Console:
  
     HCPARM has been changed to correctly set the bits to indicate
     that the CONS=SYSG IPL parameter was found and this change
     fixes the HCP1010W wait state problem.
