IBM: z/VM APARs Released Between 7.1 GA and 7.2 GA

Last Updated: 9 October 2020

z/VM CP and CMS APARs Released Between 7.1 GA and 7.2 GA

When a new z/VM release is delivered, the approach is that all service from the previous release will either be in the base of the new release or available as a fix to the new release. Since time is required to process the deliverable, the cutoff date for service that can be included in the base of the new release is weeks prior to the new release General Availability date.

Therefore, there are a small number of PTFs released on z/VM 7.1 prior to z/VM 7.2 GA (September 18, 2020) that were not included in the z/VM 7.2 base product. There are some resources to help you. The first table below is the list of APARs that are in the base of z/VM 7.2 and do not need to be applied separately. The second table shows the list of APARs where fixes were available prior to the GA date, but were NOT included in the base of z/VM 7.2. This table does not contain APARs closed after the General Availability date of z/VM 7.2 (September 18, 2020). A third table has been added that lists APARs required for specific z/VM 7.2 function.

The recommendation is you examine your current service for z/VM 7.1 and any service that is in table 1 below, you can ignore because it is already in the base of z/VM 7.2. Any z/VM 7.1 service you have in table 2, you'll need to pick up the z/VM 7.2 PTF. Any service you have applied to z/VM 7.1 that is not in either table is more recent, and you'll need to pick up the appropriate z/VM 7.2 PTF.

Please note that APAR VM66284 for z/VM 7.1 has a different APAR number for z/VM 7.2, APAR VM66437 was created to include the fix with 7.2. All the rest have the same APAR number in both z/VM 7.1 and 7.2.

For a full list of all APARs in the z/VM 7.2 base at GA please refer to the specific program directory for the product or component you are looking for.

For CP APARs, the CP4ZVM72 tool can help identify APARs on your z/VM 7.1 system that are not in the base of z/VM 7.2.
