• IPv6 support for guest LANs has been enhanced to
allow the z/VM TCP/IP stack to be confi gured for IPv6
networks connected through OSA-Express operating
in QDIO mode. The stack can be confi gured to provide
static routing of IPv6 packets and to send IPv6 Router
Advertisements. In addition, support is being provided
to help application developers to develop socket appli-
cations for IPv6 communications.
Systems Management Improvements
The Performance Toolkit for VM has been enhanced in
z/VM V5.1 to provide functional equivalence to the Perfor-
mance Reporting Facility (PRF) priced, optional feature,
thereby virtually eliminating the need for separate products
(PRF and RealTime Monitor (RTM)) to help manage your
performance more effi ciently. Other new function includes:
• New high-level Linux reports based on Application Moni-
tor records from Linux
• A new report for SCSI disks
Delivery of equivalent function to PRF in the Performance
Toolkit for VM satisfi es the Statement of Direction made on
May 13, 2003 to remove the RTM and PRF features in a future
release of z/VM. The RTM and PRF features have been with-
drawn from z/VM V5.1. These features are still available with
z/VM V4.4 but cannot be licensed with z/VM V5.1.
