Somebody said to me the z14 cards cannot be used in a Z15 or z16 because of a difference in form factor! This seemed like an ill-informed comment to me since all the cards probably use some sort of PCI connector and IBM would not change them between model Z's. But it would be nice to be able to quote some authoritative source as this person appears to have the ear of some of our senior managers.
I just checked it out: *EVERY* FICON card supported in z14 can be used in z15. Big one or small one - doesn't matter. For z16 only two types can be carried forward (means: moved from existing machine, but not ordered as new build). Those two cards are FICON Express16S+ SX and FICON Express16S+ LX. FC 0428 and FC 0427, CCIN C107 and C106. For z14-z15 migration there are six types of cards, including the above. Note, SX and LX are considered as two types.
