Clarification appreciated. So writing "z13/ 2018 (last IPL-in-31-bit-mode CPU)" could have eliminated much source of confusion, and by implication indicate that a 31-bit Linux, the only 31-bit operating system directly supported in a z13 LPAR, could at that point only be IPLed under z/VM. Any use

Archive logs are recorded in BSDS with start and end logrba 3. If an active log has not been reused, DB2 will search it first not the archive log 4.
