Paul, that's a great help. The old systems we run to support our customers Will be ok. We have no intention of exploiting any z900 features.

The new z990 features would be available under Exploitation Support. >From IBM: Compatibility support by the different operating systems allows you to run existing workloads while being able to immediately take advantage of the increased computing capacity and improved performance of the z990 server. Although determined by individual operating system, z990 Compatibility support generally provides for the following: Support for a single logical channel subsystem (LCSS) Support for up to 15 LPARs Hope this helps, Paul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all known viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security Service and the Macro 4 plc internal virus protection system. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all known viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security Service and the Macro 4 plc internal virus protection system. ________________________________________________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
