Re: Will it run ?
z/VM, yes...with the normal additional PTFs (ICKDSF, EREP and IOCP). VSE/ESA 2.2it depends. If you already have the migration apar that is unsupported, then it should work on a z/10. VSE/ESA 2.2 will not IPL on a z/890 or better due to the dual channel sets introduced in that machine. The APAR doesn't cause 2.2 to support it, it just causes it to ignore it G. VM doesn't help in this case (allowing VSE/ESA 2.2 to run on a dual channel set machine).
