Subject: Running OS/390 on z9 BC
Can anyone tell me, or point me to a site where I can find out for
myself, if OS/390 1.3 will run on a z9 BC as well as it does on a
Multiprise 2003/103.
I don't need to restart the thread on the virtues of keeping current and
using supported hardware and software. I have a very
conservative/non-adventurous/reluctant customer. They never applied
PTFs to 1.3 when it was supported. Our exhortations fail to overcome
(possibly short-sighted) budget and training concerns. I don't even
expect them to replace their 2003 which just went out of support in
December but they have asked for a review of their options.
Barry,
z/OS V1R4 with PTF's is the minimum operating system required to run NATIVE
on a z9. Unless you run VM as Bob Shannon does, you can't run OS/390 on a
z9. My client is going to a z9 BC and upgrading from OS/390 V2R10 to z/OS
V1R8 (it'll be a hoot). If you want a definitive answer to all this, look
at Greg Dayne's "Installing a z9 for the System Programmer" session at
SHARE.

Tom Conley
