Home / Downloads / IBM zPDT Software Updates / ZPDT RELEASE 1.12 DRIVER 59.17
OVERVIEW
zPDT Software Update, release date January 10th, 2025
This Driver release of GA-12 (59.17) includes the following updates:
New Function
-
- none
Fixed in this release
- Licensing problem with locally – plugged z1090 Gen2 Hardware tokens
- Licensing problem for z1091 (zDT) only, with ziips and Sysplex/Coupling
- An intermittent issue observed after issuing awsstart on Ubuntu 24.04 that may result in a crash when issuing an ipl after startup
- Install issue on a some clean / new Linux machine resulting in getting message “* No license manager found.: code=6002;”
INSTALLATION
If installed on a clean machine (with no Safenet rpms previously installed or Safenet rpms removed and then machine rebooted), users will be able to obtain licenses right after installation. If installed on a machine that has a previous z1090 installed, A machine reboot will be required after the installation. Once machine is back up, users will be able to obtain licenses. Failure to reboot will prevent obtaining licensing with a return code of 304 – “license not available”
This release will install over any exiting zpdt driver already installed. And any other driver will install over this release. But if you re-install an older release, the Safenet rpms will go back to the bad versions and you will not obtain licenses. For downloaded zip file:
- Unzip the downloaded release file
- Review the Readme file (.html & .pdf) for full information and instructions
- FTP or otherwise transfer the install file (z1090-1-12.59.17.x86_64 in the /linux directory) to your zPDT
system in the /tmp directory - Switch to root (UID 0) mode: su –
- Change to the /tmp directory: cd /tmp
- Make the program file executable: chmod 775 z1090-1-12.59.17.x86_64
- Execute the z1090 installer program: ./z1090-1-12.59.17.x86_64 –refreshall
- You will have to scroll through the license agreement then accept it. The installation should then
complete
For CDROM or .iso distributions:
- Burn the .iso image onto a CD as an “image”. The resulting CD should have multiple files and directories on it.
- See the instructions in the CD Readme file (.html and .pdf) on the CD for full information
- Copy the z1090 file to your /tmp directory:
cp /run/media/ibmsys1/zPDT_59.17/linux/z1090* /tmp (1 See note below regarding path to the CD)
- Switch to root (UID 0) mode: su –
- Change to the /tmp directory: cd /tmp
- Make the program file executable: chmod 775 z1090-1-12.59.17.x86_64
- Execute the z1090 installer program: ./z1090-1-12.59.17.x86_64 –refreshall
- You will have to scroll through the license agreement then accept it. The installation should then complete.
1 Different releases of Linux may automatically mount the CD at a different mount point than shown here. You may have to determine the correct path to the install file.
If you applied any IBM supplied zPDT patches to your installed system you will need to remove them before you can install this new release. Check the documentation that came with the patches for specific removal instructions.
You should test your system to verify that it is functioning properly. The zPDT release level is displayed as one of the messages early in the initialization process. It should report release 59.17.
Review the External Release Letter carefully; there are significant changes.
There are also release specific installation instructions in the External Release Letter and general installation instructions in Chapter 5 of the zPDT Guide and Reference Redbook, (SG248206) version 6.

Emulation of System z Networking (OSA) no longer requires root authority as it is now handled by Linux Capabilities. Linux installs this by default on Redhat and Ubuntu but is not on Suse. There you will need to install the support via “sudo zypper install libcap-progs”. You will need to reinstall the driver to make this effective via “z1090-1-11.57.16.x86_64 –refresh”
Previous release of GA-11 (57.10) included the following updates:
- DEFLATE is active in this release!
- Fixed an obscure convert Unicode instruction problem.
- New ap_acptool command that works with the emulated cryptographic adapter and will eventually replace the current acptool command, introduced in base GA11 release. See the command manpage for more information.

Previous release of GA-11 (57.06) included the following updates:
- MSA9 support.
- DEFLATE is included but is off by default. We are investigating a late breaking known issue with zOSMF. For now you may toggle it on/off with the zPDT command: dflt . We expect this to be resolved in a future FixPack.
- Devmap definitions for zEDC adapters are no longer supported and are ignored.
- z16 Architecture support:
CFCC Prod Rel 25.00 Service Level 02.43
Crypto Express 8s level, CCA version 8.0.63i , from previous level CCA version 7.1.23i
The format of the master keys differs from earlier versions and zPDT does not automatically convert the older form to the newer form. You must initialize the new crypto adapter level with the same master keys previously used if you need to access previously encrypted data.
In the srdis directory, a new directory name is created for each adapter defined in the devmap (any prior level directories are untouched).
Highlighting Neural Network Processing Assist Facility. - New command line tool : acptool – used to enable/disable/query Crypto CCA ACP’s for zPDT.
- Fix for listVtoc for ckd disks that have a very large number of files.
