Judson, Just an FYI - we just finished a DR test on a z10 EC, and the remote person flipped a coin and defined the LPARs as zVM partitions for the three 5.2 LPARS tested. It does work for 5.2, but you should use the ESA/390 option as others have advised. We found that some older unsupported software did not work (a CMS14 version would not IPL).

We are creating the group icons for the HMC. In creating the image profiles, there is a pull down box to specify the operating mode of the LPAR. We have two VM systems (both V5.2) on the older z890. The one partition runs all of our CMS work and some z/OS guests. The other is for all of our Linux on zSeries activities. On the z890, the CMS partition is defined as an ESA/390 partition while the Linux workload is in a zLinux partition. On the z10, there is now the option for a z/VM partition. Can either of these systems run as a z/VM partition or should their LPAR operating modes remain the same as is now on the z890? ________________________________ Judson West Systems Programming Team All words above are not actual sentences but random letters, spaces and the occasional punctuation.
