I want to thank everyone on this list that assisted us with their ideas and recommendations on our z/VM Upgrade (z/VM Handholding). We were able to gleam through all the great ideas and develop a z/VM installation, testing, and implementation philosophy that made sense to our years of z/OS ideology. This ideology allowed our operators to implement z/VM with an IPL or back it out with an IPL. This also works with z/VM maintenance.
We successfully upgraded our z/VM from version 5.1 to version 5.3 without incident this past weekend and have gained a better understanding and respect for z/VM in the process. z/VM exist in our shop strictly for managing Linux and as such, we know we barely scratch the surface for unlocking the many hidden strengths and possible potentials of z/VM, outside of those required for managing Linux. However, we no longer look at z/VM maintenance and upgrades with intrepidation. Thanks again.
