RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
1. Feature Overview:
Feature Id: [66877]
a. Name of Feature: [6.1 FEAT] virtualtop - userspace
b. Feature Description
This feature provides a new Linux tool "hyptop" provides a dynamic real-time view of a System z
hypervisor environment, using kernel infrastructure via debugfs.
It works with either the z/VM or the LPAR hypervisor. Depending on the available data it shows for
example CPU and memory consumption of active LPARs or z/VM guests. It provides a curses based user
interface similar to the popular Linux "top" command.
hyptop provides two windows:
- sys_list: Shows a list of systems that the currently hypervisor is running
- sys: Shows one system in more detail.
You can run hyptop in interactive mode (default) or in batch mode with
the "-b" option. For how to use the interactive mode, see the online
help (enter "?" after hyptop is started).
[For outputs use monospace font for proper display!]
Output for the "sys_list" window under LPAR:

Is this a new package request? If so, is the package already in Fedora?

Hello John,
this will be part of s390tools/utils and be provided as a backport to existing
RHEL 6.0 version.
Unfortunately through the mirroring this information got lost. I have updated
the component here directly.

Summary: hyptop: Show hypervisor performance data on System z
Description: hyptop provides a dynamic real-time view of a System z hypervisor
environment. It works with the z/VM and LPAR hypervisor. Depending
on the available data it shows e.g. CPU and memory consumption of
active LPARs or z/VM guests. The tool provides a curses based
