Hi
Thank you for reading my email.
I have some question about PR/SM and I would be very thankful for any
answer.
- System z PR/SM is implemented as hardware and it is capability of IBM
mainframe hardware.
- z/OS or z/VM are interfaces (command line or GUI ) that let us use the
above capability

As you already figured out, the service processor is not the HMC software. It
is not meant to be used as the HMC. That is why you need that special 'key'
to open the frame and then go to the trouble of untoggling the bolt that
keeps it from swinging in the breeze.

yes
I think it is to set the last 2 bytes of the stcke value in order to make
sure that the value is unique

PR/SM is microcode - a code under OS. Sometimes called firmware.
z/OS runs in LPAR. Although it can obtaine i.e. LPAR name, it is still
unaware from PR/SM and LPARs features. z/OS works in virtual
machine (Logical PARtition) and does know that machine.

Are you suggesting that your systems programmer needs to write
code to issue SCKPF, or is there a config setting that should be used?

Empirical testing shows this is being done automatically by z/OS.

Someone, somewhere, has to write a (probably trivial) program to set the

any CONFIG or PARMLIB value that will set this field, although a PARMLIB

I agree, it's trivial. However, if

Makes sense to me. If you want it to be something else, then would
be the time to write a trivial program.
This is not unlike the STCK TOD value. I believe that last 4 bits are

The results Edward Jaffe posted are of course entirely correct and
reproducible for simple, vanilla sysplexes. There are, however, some more
complex situations in which default prefix values do not ensure uniqueness.
