The documentation is correct. Anything older than EC12 (or BC12) will drop to a wait state. I've tried it on a z196 and almost instantly get a wait. --- Jim Stefanik Dallas Vintage Computing Center From: Christian Svensson <022ad63487ef-dm

This is incorrect. I just tried it again to make sure - even under z/VM, on a z196, z/OS 2.3 instantly drops the CP into a disabled wait with PSW 0002 8000 0020007B. --- Jim Stefanik Dallas Vintage Computing Center From: Brian Westerman Sent

That is very odd. The same VM guest starts up fine on an EC12 and newer, but anything older than that fails.  z/VM and z/OS are both at the latest release level with all current maintenance. Now I'm curious what the secret sauce is to make that work. --- Jim Stefanik Dallas Vi

I'll throw in a bit of "extra" behind this: Anyone who works in security almost certainly has heard of Metasploit. If not, Google it - it's pretty much a framework that puts known attacks into an easy-to-use platform for pentesting (or illicit activities if one decided to use it for such thing
