Thanks to all who have responded to this post. There are many interesting ideas that I can present to the upgrade team. I know that I have brought this subject up before as someone mentioned but at that time, it was mainly for OS upgrade (where I was concerned about 370 mode) on our current platfor

Richard:We have 370 mode in V2.3 so that's no problem. My concern is it's lack of availability in the more recent versions of zVM/CMS. That's why we would need to run a guest VM/ESA or maybe zVM 3.1 partition under the latest zVM so we could keep 370 mode. At least that's my understanding. Karl Sev

Same here. Our zFrame 8 has been running for over 4 years without any unplanned loss of service that wasn't operator error. The hardware is IBM though. I don't remember what T3 uses.

 I thought I'd do a follow up on this problem for anyone who might be interested and who may have a similar setup to the one we do. I was fairly confident that VM:Operator wasn't to blame for the problem but contacted CA anyway since the only error codes we ever got were from VM:Operator. After CA

That's okay. I'll be checking with Computer Associates tomorrow since the error message I was getting was from VM:Operator. I checked to make sure we were running the most recent version of VM:Manager and Operator and we appear to be. Somehow though I think it's a TCPIP problem but I don't really c

I was happy to see that others are using PCOMM so perhaps someone will be able to figure out my plight.
