Jim, I beg to differ, he wants to run things on the z12 (I assume either an ec12 or bc12). z/OS lifecycle extensions for 1.10 on the z12 (which was offered at the z12 announcement and updated several times afterwards) certainly isn't going to alter the z12 hardware in any way, and I doubt that the ptfs installed to 1.10 for lifecycle are going to change DAT in any significant way, but maybe they do. In any case, they were (and still are I think) available, if you can do it with the extensions then you can do it with z/VM as well.
(this is from the 2013 IBM presentation slide #6) • zEC12 and zBC12 capabilities differ depending on z/OS release – Toleration support provided on z/OS V1.10 and z/OS V1.11 • The Lifecycle Extension for z/OS V1.10 or z/OS V1.11 is required to acquire toleration PTFs and for support – Exploitation support provided on z/OS V1.12 and higher • z/OS V1.12 – Exploitation of selected functions • z/OS V1.13 – Exploitation of most functions • z/OS V2.1 – Full exploitation in base also (from the technical introduction) Operating systems Use of some features might require the latest releases. The following operating systems are supported by the zEC12 and zBC12: z/OS Version 2 Release 1 z/OS Version 1 Release 13 with PTFs z/OS Version 1 Release 12 with PTFs z/OS Version 1 Release 11 with the IBM Lifecycle Extension with PTFs z/OS Version 1 Release 10 with the IBM Lifecycle Extension with PTFs z/VM Version 6 Release 3 with PTFs z/VM Version 6 Release 2 with PTFs z/VM Version 5 Release 4 with PTFs z/VSE Version 4 Release 3 or later, with PTFs Brian ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
