Hello, A new z/VM Red Alert will be posted tonight at: http://www.vm.ibm.com/service/redalert/
June 2010 VM64793 provides support for the protected-key CP Crypto Assist Functions (CPACF) available on the IBM System z10 processors. Guest support is provided such that guests may execute the new protected-key CPACF functions. In order to exploit this new function, customers who install PTF for APAR VM64793 will also need to install supporting microcode on IBM z10 processors running at DR76 or DR79. Without the microcode support, you will not be able to initialize the guest Coupling System. Users Affected: All z/VM customers running guest coupling support when they have both a z10 and the PTF for APAR VM64793. Before the PTF for APAR VM64793 is applied to z/VM 5.4 or 6.1, the following z10 MCLs must be applied and activated: · CFCC EC N24403 MCL006 for driver 79 · CFCC EC N10964 MCL015 for driver 76 Thanks, Keri Borrego z/VM Development
