We are running z1.9 and I'm getting ready to pull RSU maint for the next
maintenance cycle. There is also a possibility that we will upgrade our box
from z890 to a z10BC with a ZIIP in the not too distant future. Is there any
harm at this time in pulling and applying the PTF's for the ZIIP while being on
the z890? I'd like to be prepared should a box swap happen sooner than
expected. I would not think so but a double check with this list is comforting.
It's a great idea. That support in z/OS gives you the ability to use
PROJECTCPU to help identify and quantify which work will be zIIP eligible.
We did almost all of our development work to make (E)JES and other
products run in zIIP-eligible enclave SRBs on a z9 with no zIIP. We used
PROJECTCPU to prove all was working as expected. When we upgraded to
z10, we installed a real zIIP at that time.
