If someone can lay out the minimal hardware and O/S for a suitable test, I'll have to shell out for the hardware and stay with Linux which seems to work fine for the other Hercules emulations. You can't legally do this with Hercules. The z/VM eval system can only be legally used on a real

The Hercules-390 mailing list on Yahoo has a discussion. Copy the zVM DVD image to a directory, then IPL with IPL /path/to/install/image/ZVM.ins. Note that you boot the *.ins file rather than a device address. Make sure that you have sufficient storage defined (zVM 5.3 requires at least 3GB), a
