Re: Question re: Hercules
NO you can not run VM - any version - under Hercules. Now, this is one of those, But why would you want to do this? questions , but howabout running z/VM in a Hercules that was itself running under Linux in a virtual machine that was being delivered using the same z/VM a s was running, down there - and is, of course, properly and fully license d. Not entirely academic - some of the devices that Hercules can emulate are pretty hard to find nowadays and if one happened to have an application that depended on one of these devices ... (I would, of course, not expect such a configuration to be SUPPORTED but ... is it legal?) Regards Jeff

Hardware revenue grew 9%, or 8% when adjusted for currency, to $5.6
billion compared with $5.1 billion a year ago.
Sales of the System Z series was the most impressive, up 25%
year-over-year, or 22% at constant currency. System P grew 10%, or 8%
when adjusted for currency. Microelectronics was up 29% and storage grew
12%, or 11% at constant currency.
It would be interesting to see how much of the increased zSeries sales
went to new sites that want to run Linux under z/VM.

If so, I would DFSMSRM MOUNT the tape to the guest userid and on 5.2 system just ATTACH the tape drive to MAINT at 181 and use the virtual cartridge. Skip the NOASSIGN stuff. I guess I really was not clear, my apologies. The 4.4 and 5.2 are 2 different LPARs. 5.2 can only run in 64bit mode, and our 4.4 is 31bit, so 2nd level is out.

A 31-bit VM cannot create a 64-bit guest, and 5.2 will only run in a 64-bit environment. Please note that I am not saying this from personal experience, I am spouting the official line. :-) (But I do believe it). Shimon P.S.
