Software Service Levels
    THIS SECTION CONTAINS THE MINIMUM REQUIRED SOFTWARE PRODUCT
    LEVELS REQUIRED TO SUPPORT THIS DEVICE.

 4. 14/11/13 Installations using the Unified Resource Manager for
             integrated systems management of z/VM should apply z/VM 6.2
             APAR VM65374 prior to applying bundle 25 for driver D15
             (zEC12 / zBC12).   The combination of z/VM APAR and
             firmware bundle allows a cloned z/VM image to properly join
             an ensemble. The z/VM APAR alerts the operator of the need
             for an IPL when a cloned image attempts to join an
             ensemble. This operator notification will not occur when
             applying the firmware bundle prior to the z/VM APAR.

 3. 14/07/31 z/VM 6.3 support for guest exploitation of RoCE and zEDC
             adapters is provided with the PTF for APAR VM65417.  z/VM
             support is disabled by default and must not be enabled
             until driver 15 bundle 21 has been applied.  Once the
             pre-requisite bundle is applied, see
             http://www.vm.ibm.com/zvm630/apars.html for details on
             enabling and configuring the z/VM support.

             The following additional service is also required:
             z/VM 6.3 CMS - APAR VM65437
             z/VM 6.3 TCP/IP - APAR PI20509
             z/VM 6.3 DVF - APAR VM65572
             z/OS 2.1 - APAR OA44482
             z/OS 2.1 - APAR OA43256

 2. 14/06/03 z/VM 6.2 APAR VM65290 corrects the output returned for the
             following API's to match the API's documentation:

             1)  VIRTUAL_NETWORK_VLAN_QUERY_STATS

             2)  VIRTUAL_NETWORK_VSWITCH_QUERY_EXTENDED

             3)  VIRTUAL_NETWORK_VSWITCH_QUERY_STATS

             Installations using the Unified Resource Manager for
             integrated systems management of z/VM must apply bundle 18
             for driver D15 (zEC12 / zBC12) before applying the PTF for
             APAR VM65290.

             Applying the PTF for APAR VM65290 before the specific
             bundle is available will cause incorrect results, and
             possible failures, to occur while managing z/VM through the
             Unified Resource Manager.

 1. 13/07/23 The following z/VM 5.4.0, 6.2.0, and 6.3.0 service is
             available in support of the IBM zEnterprise EC12 and
             zEnterprise BC12 machines:

             - Guest exploitation of the zEC12 and zBC12 at the level of
               zEnterprise 196 and z114  functionality is provided  with
               the PTF for APAR VM65007 (5.4 and 6.2 only, in base of
               z/VM 6.3).
             - When installing z/VM 5.4 and 6.2 on a zEC12 or zBC12, the
               applicable PTF should be applied as part of the install
               process
             - Exploitation of selected functions of the zEC12 and zBC12
               include:
             - Support for the crypto Express4S adapter.  Crypto
               Express4S can be configured in one of three ways using
               the Hardware Management Console (HMC) panels:
             - 2877 IBM Common Cryptographic Architecture (CCA)
               coprocessor
             - 2878 IBM Enterprise Public-Key Cryptography Standards
               (PKCS) #11 (EP11) coprocessor
             - See the ZOS2827 subset of the 2827DEVICE PSP bucket
               for required service to ICSF for EP11 support as a guest
             - 2879 Accelerator
             - Local-TLB-Clearing Facility:
               The Local-TLB-Clearing Facility provides guests running
               on z/VM the ability to use the IPTE or IDTE instructions
               with the Local-Clearing Control (LC) bit on.
             - CPU-Measurement Counter Facility enhancement:
               The CPU-Measurement Counter Facility has been expanded
               and now has an additional Counter First Version Number
               and additional Counter Second Version Number. The new
               Counter First Version Number (2) specifies changes to the
               meanings of some counters in the Basic and Problem-State
               counter sets. The new Counter Second Version Number (3)
               specifies changes to the number of counters in the
               Extended counter set. z/VM supports all variations of
               these new version numbers when collecting the counters
               and when putting them into the monitor record.
             - New subchannel measurement block fields:
               The Interrupt-Delay Time and I/O-Priority-Delay Time
               fields have been added to the subchannel measurement
               block. Recognize and report processing capability
               reduction due to customer-initiated power-saving mode or
               an autonomic response to environmental conditions, and
               reflect the change and its cause in monitor and
               accounting data streams.

             - Support for the new OSA-Express5S adapters with the PTF
               for APAR PM83966 (z/VM 6.2 only, in base of z/VM 6.3, not
               applicable for z/VM 5.4).

             - Support for guests to obtain proper MSU information
               requires the PTFs for APARs VM65356 and VM65360 (z/VM 5.4
               6.2, and 6.3)

             - z/VM IOCP support of the zEnterprise EC12 with the PTF
               for APAR VM65131 (z/VM 5.4, 6.2, and 6.3)
             - z/VM IOCP support of the zEnterprise BC12 with the PTF
               for APAR VM65421 (z/VM 5.4, 6.2, and 6.3)
             - Performance ToolKit support of the zEnterprise BC12  with
               the PTF for APAR VM65046 (z/VM 5.4 and 6.2 only, in the
               base of z/VM 6.3)
             - VMHCD support of the zEnterprise EC12 with the PTF for
               APAR VM65047
             - VMHCD support of the zEnterprise BC12 with the PTF for
               APAR VM65236
             - VMHCM support of the zEnterprise EC12 and zEnterprise
               BC12 with the PTF for APAR VM65239
             - z/VM EREP support of the zEnterprise EC12 with the PTF
               for APAR VM65130
             - z/VM EREP support of the zEnterprise BC12 with the PTF
               for APAR VM65279
             - HLASM support of new instructions for the zEnterprise
               BC12  with the PTF for APAR PM49761
             - OSA/SF support for OSA-Express4S and OSA-Express5S
               adapters installed within the zEnterprise EC12 and
               zEnterprise BC12  with the PTF for APAR OA38418
