We're running z/VM 5.3 and I'm doing the 5.4 upgrade. Jim

Where are you at on the z/VM floor system (1st level)? We are at 5.2, I saw the warning, so far had nothing unusual happen after 2 weeks.=20 -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Bohnsack Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2008 08:47 To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: TCPIP for z/VM 5.4 I'm starting to work on TCPIP on my 2nd level install system and have come across a warning in the Program Directory for TCPIP. In section 5.2.4.2, there is a bullet item that says: * This level of TCP/IP relies on the presence of certain functions in the z/VM version 5 release 4 levels of CP and CMS. The converse is also true--using z/VM version 5 release 4 CMS requires that TCP/IP level 540 be present, to accomodate those functions that use TCP/IP (DNS) resolver services. Abends and incorrect results are possible if you attempt to use mixed levels of TCP/IP, CP and CMS. I have occasionally come across situations where a sub-system such as TCP/IP requires a matching level of CMS but a matching level of CP is very unusual. I don't like doing "big bang" conversions. I would like to be able to move the 5.4 level of CP from my 2nd level install system to my test lpar and then move the 5.4 level of CMS and then the 5.4 level of TCP/IP and some other things. In this case, the bullet item specifically mentions that a CMS/TCPIP match is needed for DNS resolver services. We run DNS on a different system.=20 I would appreciate some thoughts on the idea of mix and match.
