Re: ZOS/E on a Z890
IMHO, there is only one reason to go to z/os.e, but it is a biggie. The business case is past a no brainer. Well worth the effort. We have been production z/os.e 1.4 on a z890 for months. We have had some minor issues, but none we can pin on z/os.e exclusively. A combination of z/os.e and sub capacity pricing results in some serious dollar savings. There is a price to pay, but so far we like what we see.

Re: ZOS/E on a Z890
Hi, For releases of z/OS.e up to (and including) 1.4 you have to follow note 2 of the Server support page, which states: z/OS.e V1.4 will run on a z890 with the z/OS.e V1.4 z990 Coexistence Update feature or with the z/OS.e V1.4 z990 Coexistence feature (no longer orderable). or the z/OS.e frequently asked questions manual that states: z/OS.e V1.4 z990 Coexistence feature: This feature allows z/OS.e V1.4 running on a z800 server to coexist in a sysplex with a z990 or z890 system. Also, this feature allows z/OS.e V1.4 to run on a z890 server, but it does not allow z/OS.e V1.4 to exploit the new z890 functions. This feature does not allow z/OS.e V1.4 to run on a z990 server, but it allows customers to maintain a consistent code base for z/OS and z/OS.e. This feature is no longer orderable and is replaced by the z/OS.e V1.4 z990 Coexistence Update feature. z/OS.e V1.4 z990 Coexistence Update feature:. This feature allows z/OS.e V1.4 to take advantage of new functions provided by the z890 server. This feature can also be required on coexisting z800 systems. This feature allows customers to maintain a consistent code base for z/OS and z/OS.e. Don't be confused that it says z990, it also applies to the z890. If you have not gone too far into your install, you would be better off going to a higher version of Z/OS.e (V1.5 and above doesn't require the Coexistence feature.). There are actually not very many good reasons to go to z/OS.e at version 1.4, there are a lot of problems, and since it's z/OS.e, you have to be 64-bit anyway, so you can't take advantage of the coexistence PTF's with older versions of OS/390 as much as you could otherwise (with regualr z/OS). If you are really set to keep going with V1.4 then you will need to order and install the z/OS.e z990 Coexistence Update feature, but I have to warn you that because it's an update to the base z/os code, and V1.4 already is known to have a lot of problems that are fixed at 1.5 and later.
