Alan Altmark posted that z/VM 3 can't run in IFL engines. This is not
good news for us. We are currently running VM on a machine that can't
run z/VM 4. We are looking at getting newer machine with an IFL engine.
We wanted to do a Linux proof of concept on the new machine, on the IFL
to isolate the linux workload.
If z/VM 3 can't run on an IFL we'll have to upgrade VM - but after we
get the new machine since our current machine can't run z/VM 4.
So my question is can z/VM 3 really not run in an IFL, or is this
another license issue? We already are pursuing RACF licensing and I now
see we'll need a special bid for RSCS NJE and/or Passthru. Can the z/VM
issue also be pursued as a licensing issue or is this one real?
