I doesn't sound dumb at all - it is quite important if that is what you
need.

The supported memory in z/VM 5.4 did not change from 5.3. The maximum
recommended size of both releases is 256 GB. For reference, see

This is just my own observation.
We have been very early adopters of z/VM 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4.
Admittedly, we do have some very specific requirements but I have to say
that our experience is that each succeeding version has become more
reliable and issue free. This is hardly surprising when

Hi, Dennis.
I would feel quite confident going with 5.3 on a z10 box as a stable solution. Several of
our clients re running that configuration in support of (numerous) Linux guests with no
problems at all.
