- Dynamic addition of memory to an active z/VM
LPAR by exploiting System z dynamic storage-reconfiguration capabilities.
- Enhanced physical connectivity by exploiting
all OSA-Express3 ports.
- The capability for installing Linux on System z from
the HMC without requiring a network connection.
- Enhancements for scalability and constraint
relief.
- Operation of the SSL server in a CMS
environment.
- Systems management enhancements for Linux
and other virtual images.
- IFL: Integrated Facility for Linux z/VM
V5.3 and Linux on System z collaborate to make more intelligent choices on
how to how to manage memory.
- Improved capability
