      Section number and name:
      18.8. Setting up IBM Secure Execution on IBM Z

      Describe the issue:

      With RHEL 10.2 (TBD 9.8) we enable CPI retrieval for KVM guests. However, for Secure Execution guests this is disabled by default. If somebody really wants to enable that, however, they can by setting CPI_PERMIT_PVGUEST=1 in /etc/sysconfig/cpi, ref. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/linux-on-systems?topic=identification-specify-system-name

      Impact of this issue:
