Thanks to all for the info I just found out a little more...
We're taking a customer running some old VM (don't know just what
release yet) from an old MP3000 to a small z9...I thought it was
going on a used z890...
So to rephrase my question (sorry 'bout that)... What's the
I think 3.1 would tolerate a Z, but not exploit it. It also depended on what
devices you had. I know of people still running VM/ESA 2.2 on a Z processor,
but it certainly isn't supported.

A year ago last winter we went from 7060 (a 9672 under the covers like
an MP3000 I believe) to a z9. We were running z/VM 4.4. When I would

Hi... Does anyone know/remember the oldest (first) realease of VM that
would run on a Z processor? I know z/VM 5.1 required a Z. But what
from earlier releases would run on a Z? 4.4? 4.3? 4.2?
Thanks.

Will run and Is supported are two
z/VM 3.1 was the first z release. z/VM v4 was a 64 bit version, i.e. z
capable.

According to the z900 announcement letter, the following VM
releases were supported at GA.

The other responses
IIRC z/VM 3.1 could run in either 32 or 64bit mode. I think there were
(by default) 2 CP Nuclei generated with a SYSGEN, one for each mode, and
a bootstrap that would load the correct one.
