E.4.2 Summary DPM provides simplified IBM Z hardware and virtual infrastructure management, including  integrated dynamic I/O management for users that intend to run Linux on Z and the KVM  hypervisor in a partition and for z/VM.  The new mode, DPM, provides partition lifecycle and dynamic I/O management capabilities  by using the HMC for the following tasks:  A CPC can be in DPM mode or standard PR/SM mode. The mode is enabled before the CPC  power-on reset. DPM mode requires two OSA-Express 1000BASE-T Ethernet features for primary and  backup connectivity (OSA-Express 1000BASE-T Ethernet), along with associated cabling  (hardware for DPM FC0016). GLYPH<SM590000> Create and provision: Creating partitions, assigning processors and memory, configuring  I/O Adapters (Network, FCP Storage, Crypto, and Accelerators).  GLYPH<SM590000> Manage the environment: Modification of system resources without disrupting running  workloads. GLYPH<SM590000> Monitor and troubleshoot the environment: Source identification of system failures,  conditions, states, or events that might lead to workload degradation.  460  IBM 14 Model ZR1 Technical Guide
