Processor driver levels
The capabilities of a processor depend to an extent on the level of microcode that is installed on the processor. This is referred to as a Driver level, and documentation will sometimes refer to a particular function being delivered with a specific Driver level.
In this appendix we provide a cross-reference showing the Driver levels that were delivered for each of System z9, System z10, zEnterprise 196, and zEnterprise z114.
Driver level cross-reference
Table B-1 lists the Driver levels that were provided for the most recent generations of System z servers at the time of writing.
