z/VM New Function Variable List

This variable indicates that z/VM's SCSI IPL Alternate Path Support is available and if IPL fails using the primary path then an alternate path will be automatically used.

This variable indicates that z/VM's exploitation of the Crypto Stateless-Command Filtering facility available on CEX8C adapters will replace the crypto stateless-command filtering performed in z/VM for APVIRT crypto users.

This variable indicates what level of Secure IPL is installed.

This variable indicates what level of Thin Stack Adapter Interrupt Support is installed.

The variable is a decimal integer that specifies the version of *VMEVENT Ehancements support installed.

• New events are reported for disconnection from and reconnection to a terminal session.
• Logon-by user and terminal information are included in the reconnection event and added to the existing logon event.
• A 32-bit interval value is added to the logoff-timeout-started and logoff-timeout-service event records, and the existing 16-bit interval field is set to 65535 if the actual value will not fit in 16 bits.
• The runnable event is reported only when the virtual machine changes from a not-runnable to a runnable state.

This variable indicates the level of NVMe EDEVICE support installed.

This variable indicates whether Warning Track support is available.

Indicates that mnemonics for valid opcodes will be included in TRACE and DISPLAY output.

Defines the level of guest High Performance FICON opcode support.

This variable indicates SHUTDOWN will terminate the network connections for the uplinks associated with Global VSwitches and any Bridge Ports.

This variable indicates the presence of Control Program support for an External Security Manager to control the DEFINE MDISK command.

The value of this variable represents the maximum number ofAmembers in a Single 7 System Image (SSI) cluster supported by this level of CP.

This variable indicates whether NVMe EDEVICE support is installed.

This variable indicates whether support for Spool Information Enhancements is installed.

This variable indicates whether support for EDEVICE Path Management is installed.

This variable indicates the ability to configure the NICDistribution setting for a VSwitch BridgePort.

This variable indicates whether support for Host Exploitation of Crypto Interruptions is installed.

This variable indicates whether support for Improved Live Guest Relocation for Shared Crypto Users (aka LGR for Mixed APVIRT) is installed.

The variable indicates whether the support for preserving a partial dump across a re-IPL is present.

This variable indicates that IPv6 addresses for Layer 2 VSwitches will be displayed on the QUERY VSWITCH and the QUERY VIRTUAL NIC commands and on the output of the DIAG '26C'.

This variable indicates the ability to report real device settings established by the DEVICES configuration statement and the SET DEVICES command.

This variable indicates the presence of multi processor support for the VARY ON RDEV command.

This variable indicates the presence of functionality which allows real memory to be dynamically removed from a running CP system.

This variable indicates the current limitation on how much storage can be designated as reconfigurable. Reconfigurable memory may only be defined if there is already 4 GB of memory designated as permanent.

This variable indicates the current limitation on how much storage can be designated as reconfigurable. Reconfigurable memory may only be defined if there is already 4 GB of memory designated as permanent.

This variable indicates enhancements to the SET EDEVICE command or the EDEVICE system configuration statement.

This variable indicates the limitation on the maximum real memory supported for a z/VM system. The variable is a decimal integer value of terabytes of real memory. The amount of memory supported per guest or on a second level z/VM system may be different. See CP Planning and Administration for more details.

This variable indicates new Parallel Access Volume (PAV) function.

This variable indicates the presence of functionality which reduces the elapsed time required to write CP dumps.

This variable indicates the presence of support for z/XC architecture mode, that is, the ability for XC virtual machines to exploit z/Architecture instruction set and capabilities concurrentlly with VM Data Spaces.
