Hello All,

It's come to my attention that attendees at this week's SHARE have been
informed that only a 610 level SSL Scalability and Enhancement PTF would 
be
provided.  For the record, PTFs for both the 540 and 610 levels will be m
ade
available.

2010-08-04 Thread Mark Cibula 
Hello,

A new z/VM Red Alert has been posted at: 
http://www.vm.ibm.com/service/redalert/

August 4, 2010

With this APAR and its associated requisites (listed in the document),
TCP/IP for z/VM provides significant performance and scalability
enhancements for the CMS-based SSL server, introduced with z/VM version 5

release 4.

USERS AFFECTED:
All z/VM customers who have configured the z/VM SSL server and are runnin
g
it in a production environment. Customers who acquire these updates, but
have not employed an SSL server within their installation, do not need to

complete the prescribed changes prior to placing service into production.
 

Detailed information about these enhancements, their use, and system and
configuration changes required to install these updates, can be found at
this z/VM web site URL:
