Hi changed in Summary from OSA to PCI.
If you try to install from a PCI device without Pressed file and you have no OSA Interface attached to your system :during installation you will not get t the point to define PCI interface it will not recognize.
First time I did the installation when a OSA device was attached to the system and changed it the to PCI which are shown as unknown devices.
If no OSA is defined you will not have the change to install over PCI devices

Try to install on zVM Guest s8328004

PCI device was attached to zVM Guest

cp q pcifunction
