You might want to review at IBM TechDocs z/OS Positioning Software for the zEnterprise (z196 and z114) Servers
http://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/TD105581 also similar from SHARE in Orlando 10099: Everything a z/OS System Programmer Needs to Know to Exploit a zEnterprise (z196 or z114) Server http://proceedings.share.org/client_files/Share_in_Orlando_2/Session_10099_handout_1826_0.pdf Finally in addition to the functional requirements performance is a very significant area that should be carefully planned/reviewed and expectations clearly set. The performance from one IBM to machine model to the next changes and you want to make sure that the right IBM CP3000 or other tooling supported studies have been done so you won't have any surprises. You probably already have this but it is worth talking about because the financial consequences of getting this wrong are so great. A perfectly good functional migration may be viewed as a complete failure by management if they have to buy an unplanned engine or find they significantly overbought. Good Luck! The z196 has proven to be a very capable processor for us.
