## Description ##
~~~
For your information, the Mainframe zEC12 which hosted our LPARs s390p7 (s390x-kvm-sle15), s390p8 (s390x-kvm-sle12) and s390p9 (former QAM) - needed to be shut down, as we will get a new Mainframe in the upcoming weeks.
This won't have much impact as for now, as we have backup workers for s390x-kvm-sle12. for s390x-kvm-sle15 we don't have them, but as I'm aware of, the corresponding jobs have been modified to run on s390x-kvm-sle12. (if not, please do so, as s390-kvm-sle15 won't be functional as of now)
In the upcoming days I will set up more workers on our other mainframe zEC13. For now if you see failing testcases on worker_class 's390x-kvm-sle12', a simple restart should work as it will be triggered on the zEC13 workers (s390zp18).

Additionally, it seems there are still stests running on worker_class 'zkvm' which refers to an old LPAR s390pb, this was also shutdown. so the second goal of this ticket is to get rid of this machine as well
