I want to move my VM system to a new array, and subsequently removing the old array.

Re: z/VM 5.3 or z/VM 5.2

To install from DVD second-level, the first-level system must be z/VM 5.1 or later. There are programs on MAINT 2CC that you need for the DVD install, and 5.1 was the first release that had them. I suspect that if you have access to a z/VM 5.x system, you could copy over the MAINT 2CC disk to you

Re: z/VM 5.3 or z/VM 5.2

To install (hence run) a z/VM 5.2 or 5.3 secondlevel, you need z capable HW, and the base VM system must be running in 64-bit mode too. I didn't read the books, but if you use tape, you surely can install under 4.3. The isntallation from DVD or via FTP may have different pre-reqs. -- Kris Buele
