Not only that, you must have a z10 to create your initial 6.1 system. It cannot even be ordered until you have one and the system you DDR is a 6.1 system.

From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU<mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU>] On Behalf Of Schuh, Richard Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 6:08 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU<mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> Subject: z/VM 6.1 Delivery I just received the info that my 6.1 order is ready for download. In the instructions that came in the notice, Step 2 says: STEP 2: Installation instructions - This link takes you to the instructions to upload the product material (Product Envelope) to a VM host system and to prepare for installation. It is recommended that you read or print these installation instructions in their entirety prior to downloading the products. Once completed, these instructions will direct you to the Program Directory for z/VM Service Delivery Offering for the complete installation instructions. Does this mean that there is supposed to be a way to transfer the files in the order directly to a VM system? If so, there is a problem in that the link provided has no such instructions. However, it does have instructions for downloading to a PC. If I had a choice, I would choose to transfer directly to a VM system Regards, Richard Schuh -- Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium, VM customer support
