z114 and z/OS 2.3

Hi, I know that z114 is not officially supported on z/OS 2.3 - but I was wondering if anyone has had any success IPLing it just for experimental purposes on this platform? I see that the wait state documentation for z/OS 2.3 wait state 07B says that "Miscellaneous-instruction-extension facility"

In-rack FICON DASD

Hi, With the z14 ZR1's 16U reserved 19" space option available I'm curious if anyone has figured out a way to fit everything one needs in one rack? Adding two switches, and a conventional SAN is a no-brainer with space to spare - but what would you pick for FICON EKCD for supporting z/OS load? An

z114 retroactive height reduction (FC 9975) for transportation

Hi, A bit of a niche question maybe, but this list usually enjoys those! I need to move my z114, and sadly I don't have the possibility of inspecting it physically right now. I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to reduce the height of the z114? In the IMPP there is a FC 9975 which s

Multi-channel OSA-ICC routing and TCP port behavior

Hi, I have been experimenting with setting up OSA-ICC cards on a z114. These are OSA Express3 cards with 4 ports / 2 channels. Let's look at a single channel in this card, named CHPID 200. These are the configuration parameters for this card: > Channel ID: 0200 > LAN port type: OSA-ICC 3270 >

Single phase power connector to z114

Hi, This may be an odd question. I bought an z114 and I'm trying to figure out how to power it. I've arrived that the single-configuration BPR I have should happily accept any AC between 200V-600V, and I managed to buy two 41U0108 (one per A/B power). The power consumption should come out to less
