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.

@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

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