Yes, it won't run as is. Starting with the z/890, there are dual channel sets which VSE/ESA 2.5 and below were not aware of. VSE/ESA 2.5 had a real PTF to support this. Anything under VSE/ESA 2.5 had a "migration PTF" to support it, at your own risk. The "migration PTF" is a piece of paper, with some locates and zaps. Works fine if you haven't put on much supervisor maintenance. Contact your Business Partner. With the PTF, I know that VSE/ESA 2.3 will run on a z/10. The same "should" be able to be said for VSE/ESA 2.2. It is a one way zap. In that once applied, your VSE system can only be IPL'ed on a processor with dual channel sets (z/890 or better). If you want to be able to backout, make sure you have a good copy of DOSRES prior to putting on the zap. Also, your current standalone restore utilities need to be updated for a dual channel set processor. Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting
