KB. See kilobyte (KB).
Kernel subsystem. In G-series release version updates (RVUs), the subsystem for 
configuration and management of the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) subsystem 
managers that are generic processes, some system attributes, and the ServerNet X 
and Y fabrics.
Kernel subsystem manager process. The generic process that starts and manages other 
generic processes, some system attributes, and the ServerNet X and Y fabrics in 
G-series release version updates (RVUs). The $ZZKRN Kernel subsystem manager 
process is started and managed by the $ZPM persistence manager process.
kilobyte (KB). A unit of measurement equal to 1024 bytes. See also gigabyte (GB),
