Hello List! This is to announce that as of November 15, VM Service has begun to maintain a Red Alert Page at http://www.vm.ibm.com/service/redalert/
This service is patterned after the z/OS Red Alert process. This new mean s of service communication is not meant to replace any of the normal servic e processes already in place. This is an attempt to be as proactive as possible in getting the word out to our customers whenever a service issu e is seen as highly disruptive to a major segment of the z/VM user community. Though the initial list for Red Alerts have associated APARs, that may not always be the case. A couple of key points for this form of new service communication are: - This page will maintain a cumulative list of any Red Alerts by Release still in service. - Note that you may subscribe to this web page in order to get any notifications when a new alert is issued. - When a new individual red alert is issued, an entry indicating this occurrence will be made on the VM listserv also. The initial list of Red Alerts has been primed with several APARs that have been seen as having high impact to the VM Community in the last few months. Hopefully, this new process will enhance VM's delivery of service. Thank you.
