2010-10-14 Thread Frank M. Ramaekers
We are installing a z10 this weekend with z/VM 5.4. My question is what are my migration options for migration to z/VM 6.1? I don't suppose that 6.1 can run under 5.4, since 6.1 requires a z10+ and 5.4 does not? (If so, problem solved. Otherwise it looks I'll be limited to 1. LPAR the z/VM

I haven't tried it, but 6.1 should run as a guest of 5.4 on a z10 (or later.) z/VM does not hide or downgrade the architecture of the machine from the guest (as much as possible), so the machine features needed by 6.1 should still be available to a guest of 5.4 on a z10. On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at

We've tried it and 6.1 will run as a guest of 5.4 on a z10.. If you're swinging all your DASD over to the z10 - you could just bring up z/VM 5.4 -- build your 2nd level 6.1 guest - merge and migrate and bring up 6.1 1st level... Scott rohling On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 11:21 AM, Bruce Hayden
