OA49609: NEW IBM MAINFRAME Z13S D/T2965 AND Z13 D/T2964 NEW MCL TOLERATION SUPPORT

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• With this fix, the new IBM z system z13s, device type 2965 is
  recognized and shown in the SA z/OS hardware query
  responses or runtime panel displays. You can define processor
  entries to address D/T2965 in your SA policy.
  
  The released microcode levels for D/T2965 and D/T2964 allow the
  SA z/OS ProcOps and the SA-BCPii hardware interfaces to
  recognize KVM on z System instances running in a logical
  partition. The released microcode levels for D/T2965 and D/T2964
  allow the SA z/OS ProcOps and the SA-BCPii hardware interfaces
  to recognize hardware or software appliance infrastructure
  instances running in a logical partition.
