@lzaoral
Wow!
Looks "rather interesting" to me as a total ZIPL noob ;-)
Now I have a starting point :-)
Thank you for it!

Glad to hear that! 😄 BTW, if you accidentally overwrite the zipl configuration of your host (e.g. when using the same device for storing the kernel and initrd) when experimenting, you can just call zipl without any argument to restore it to the default values (at least on Fedora/RHEL).
