I am running z/OS 1.4 and think of just jumping to z/OS 1.11, if they
finally let me upgrade the software.
I was wondering if anyone out there thinks this is a real bad idea. I can
isolate a test Lpar and DASD volumes to do this.
I would like some feed back on this idea.

You're facing several issues. You'll need a new SMP/E for sure. IBM claims
that you need the COD (driver system), and may not support you if you run
into problems driving the install from z/OS 1.4. They might be using new
facilities in, e.g., ISPF, for the CPAC dialogs.

ITYM Unix; USS is something different. The big issue will be that they are
pushing us towards zFS and you may want to switch everything even if it is
not required. Also, pay close attention to the setup for *FS sharing.
Read the migration documentation, especially with regard to TCP/IP.
Go over your operator instructions; there are new commands and address
spaces to worry about.
