@IBM

*if* this gets accepted into the release, once test bits are available, we'll
need you to provide prompt test feedback here. Thanks!

The code for this  feature is available for download
Latest source code has to be downloaded from DeveloperWorks
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390/snipl.html

Please select the latest version 2.1.9  available since 2010-09-16

LPAR support requires the management library ??? hwmcaapi ???
z/VM guest support requires ??? DMSVSMA.X ???

Both libraries require a signed agreement between Red Hat and  System z to
allow Red Hat to distribute the libraries with a separate license and to forbid
customers to redistribute the libraries.

That agreement got  reviewed by IBM and Red Hat attorneys for RHEL 6 inclusion
but is not yet signed by Red Hat

Comment 7 John Jarvis 2010-12-08 17:24:49 UTC

Closing this as DEFERRED since it won't go into 6.1 but will be reviewed for
RHEL 6.2.
