Another good part of the z10 announcement: <quote> HMC version 2.10.0 along with SE version 2.10.0 on System z10 EC will now provide the ability to install Linux on System z in a z/VM virtual machine using the Hardware Management Console (HMC) DVD drive. This new function does not require a network connection between z/VM and the HMC, but instead, uses the existing communication path between the Support Element (SE) and the HMC. Using the legacy support and the planned z/VM future support, z/VM can be installed in an LPAR and both z/VM and Linux on System z can be installed in a virtual machine from the HMC DVD drive without requiring any network setup or a connection between an LPAR and the HMC. </quote>
