I thought you said there was a way in z/VM to restrict a guest to run ESA/390 and not switch to z/Architecture. But I'll be damned if I can find it now.

Thoughts?

IANA VM weenie, but I would guess that if the VM is IPL'd into
a partition that is running ARCHLVL 1, then the only thing a
guest could "see" would also be ARCHLVL 1. IOW it would be an
implicit "feature" of the environment that the VM ran in.

I accidentally posted a private message to the list. :-[

z/OS guests running under the latest z/VM will switch to z/Architecture mode. Guests running under VM/ESA -- even on a zSeries machine -- see only ESA/390 architecture. In that case z/OS will *not* switch to z/Architecture mode. (This may also be true of some earlier z/VM releases.)

You can run z/OS as a guest under VM/ESA in its own LPAR or as a 2nd-level guest under VM/ESA running as a guest of z/VM. Either way, z/OS will *not* switch to z/Architecture mode.
