When did IBM, SUSE or Red Hat begin accepting VMDUMP for z/Linux guests?

We were told that this was unacceptable and must use some linux commands.

From z/VM 5.2.0 announcement:

"The z/VM CP functions that produce hard and soft abend dumps and
SNAPDUMPs have been enhanced to dump storage above 2 GB if such storage
exists. Likewise, a stand-alone dump of a z/VM system or a VMDUMP of a
virtual machine in z/Architecture mode can now include storage above 2 GB."

I don't know if SuSE or REd Hat will accept a VMDUMP. IBM should.
