How to submit requirements for LinuxONE, Linux on z Systems, z/VM and KVM on z Systems

Request for Enhancement IBM Community

KVM as well as LinuxONE is now part of the " Request for Enhancement (RFE) Community". So as described in my earlier post you can now also submit requirements for LinuxONE and KVM to IBM. To do this open the  community start page and then select  the "Submit" tab.
After entering in your IBM ID, you can fill in your requirement. In the product pull down please select one of:
  • Linux on System z
  • IBM LinuxONE
  • KVM for IBM z Systems
  • z/VM
Fill in the other fields as good as you can and then click on submit.

Canonical is handling requirements for the Ubuntu distribution through Launchpad. Open a bug there, put requirement in the title and tag it with s390x.

Red Hat has a defined RFE process for their customers. So after logging into RHN follow the instructions to submit a request.

SUSE requirements can be submitted to their sales reps as well as using  the "feedback" button at the bottom of the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for System z web site.

Request for Enhancement (RFE) community launched including Linux on System z and z/VM requirements

The Request for Enhancement (RFE) community has been used for IBM Software products for a while. Now also the Systems and Systems Software including Linux on System z and z/VM have been included there. Up to now requirements have only been discussed internally - this is now open to everyone with an IBM ID. In my opinion this is really good.

This community is meant for submitting and discussing requirements and feature requests for specific products. In the community please select "Linux on System z"  for zLinux requirements and "z/VM" for z/VM requirements.
Also feel free to comment and vote for already existing requirements!

Who is going to submit the first one in the categories?
