XBM and zIIP processing

XBM provides the zIIP component for XBM that enables use of zIIPs.

The component provides supported BMC products the option to use enclave service request blocks (SRBs) to enable zIIP processing while running jobs. If a zIIP is available, XBM attempts to offload eligible processing to the zIIP. If the zIIP is busy or not available, normal processing continues on a general-purpose processor. The zIIP component for XBM does not require a separate license. You may use this feature as long as you have an installed authorized version of XBM or SUF and at least one supported BMC product.

Note

To enable zIIP processing, you must start and maintain an XBM subsystem in your environment.

For more information about zIIP processing, see Setting up XBM for zIIP processing.
