oh yeah, it's fast :)
one of the production machines is a z9 and the other a
z990. my perf guys here say something's up with that z9 and it's more than
just the MIPS. things perform much better (our java WAS stuff that
is).

The z9 has no basic mode, so you can't run the thing totally native (you have to define at least one LPAR), but if you're asking if you can run one big LPAR, put VM in it, and parcel it out via CP, then sure, works great. Regular admonitions apply (get current RSU and buckets, refit mods if you have any, etc, etc), but no problems so far (other than people not believing how much faster the z9 is…).
Hello. Is anyone here running zVM 5.2 on a z9, first level/native?
Any issues pro or con?
Thanks
Steve G.
