Thanks Les You are right. How do we order z/VM and not get z/VM? (rhetorical). I do not know what went wrong but we ordered it again. The problem with fool proof methods is that they only account for the fools I guess.

According to Sue Baloga, it looks like this order consisted of DFSMS only, which could be a valid VM/SDO order. You can order the z/VM base system and/or optional licensed products. When anything is ordered through the VM/SDO,base or LP, the optional product enabling aid is also shipped. The installation instructions has two links; one for the operating system (z/VM System Deliverable) and one for the optional licensed products (z/VM Licensed Products). If you ordered optional products only, you should use the second link Here's what the page looks like: IBM Systems > System z > z/VM > Installation Instructions for Electronically Delivered z/VM System Deliverable and Licensed Products. For instructions on installing the electronic files (zip) for the z/VM Operating System go to: * Installation Instructions for Electronically Delivered z/VM System Deliverable For instructions on installing the electronic product envelope (servlink) files for z/VM Licensed Products go to: * Installation Instructions for Electronically Delivered z/VM License Products If doesn't appear the base operating system (z/VM System Deliverable) was ordered.
