Skipping z15™ and z16™. From https://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/ShowDoc.wss?docURL=/common/ssi/rep_sm/2/897/ENUS8561-_h02/index.html: This feature is only supported on IBM® LinuxONE models.

To use an NVMe device, you need to install the stand-alone NVMe disk dump tool, perform the dump process, and copy the dump from a partition to a file in a Linux® file system.

You can use NVMe disks as dump devices for LPARs and DPM partitions as of LinuxONE III hardware.
