In the Key Requirements section z13 or z13s isn't listed for z/OS 3.1! Regards Parwez Hamid​ ________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Brian Westerman <brian_wester...@syzygyinc.com> Sent: 30 June 2023 07:01 To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> Subject: Re: z/OSMF So is IBM definitely dropping support for the z13s BEFORE z/OS 3.1 is officially out? If not, then it should be supported by z/OS 3.1, as well as products like z/OSMF (which are required in order to install z/OS) should be able to be run on the z13s, isn't that correct? Obviously the 4341 and z/OS 2.5 (or z/OS at all) were not compatible, and the 4341 was discontinued (hardware and software support) before z/OS was announced or made available. In this case, the z13s is still supported by IBM, and is supported by z/OS. I guess what I am looking for is an official statement that the z13s is not supported by z/OS 3.1. All I currently see is that the z13s isn't listed on the installation list for z/OS 3.1, but as it's no longer marketed, that makes sense. That doesn't mean that the z13s can't 'run" z/OS 3.1. Can the z13s "run" z/OS 3.1? All I need is a simple yes or no. Or even a "maybe" depending on extended lifecycle support. If it is 100% not going to run z/OS 3.1, then I would like to be able to tell the managers of the 5 sites that are running them that they will need to "move up" or "migrate off". I can't do that without a definitive response.
