Correct, this requirement applies only to z/OS v2.3 and above (e.g. also v2.4) when running on z14 and later (e.g. also the ZR1 and z15). The only enforcement is the new WTOR during IPL: IAR057D LESS THAN 8 GB OF REAL STORAGE IMPACTS SYSTEM AVAILABILITY - ADD STORAGE OR REPLY C TO CONTINUE
So if you are on a z13 there is no requirement or WTOR. Likewise if you are running v2.2 on any hardware. For z/OS on zPDT and zVM there is the requirement but it's just a smaller amount of 2GB. zPDT isn't actually running on z14 but if it emulates one, then z/OS checks for the requirement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
