You can't order 1.7, but they can migrate to 1.9 with no problems. As I
have pointed out numerous time before, I've had no problems at any of the
client sites jumping more than the IBM recommended migration jump.
In this particular case, they can probably pick up a used Z/series box and
Jason,
For reference, your 9672-Z87 has a full capacity software rating of 217
MSUs. That's a relatively large machine, and I would strongly recommend
running the financial numbers immediately on getting to a 64-bit machine.
Every month your employer is paying full capacity (217 MSUs) for z/OS

3. Migrate to z/OS 1.7 (and the latest middleware product
releases), which you can do with coexistence and fallback on
the same machine in new LPARs.
Is z/OS 1.7 even orderable at this
Is z/OS 1.7 even orderable at this point in time?

No, that ended when 1.9 was announced.

I assumed the original poster's employer had done the right thing and
ordered z/OS 1.7 at some point in time. Perhaps that's a bad assumption.
Regardless, I would strongly recommend he ring IBM as soon as possible.

Hi,
I've just joined a new company recently and discovered that they are still
running z/OS 1.4 on a 9672-Z87 CPU with both central (2G) and expanded (4G)
storage defined.
My question is - I thought that starting z/OS 1.2 and above, expanded
storage is all gone and running in pure 64-bit??

Up to 1.5 (iirc), there is/was bi-modal support for z/OS.
So, 31-bit still works with 1.4.

can we increase the central storage to more than 2GB? Or should I need to do
something else to be able to do this? I am not sure whether the 9672-Z87 allow
64-bit.
You need to be on a z/900, or later, machine and on OS/390 2.10 (or z/OS) to
run 64-bit.
Otherwise, you can only support 2GB of
