This table provides z/OS and z/OS.e release/model compatibility information:
http://www.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/support/zos_server_support.html Some hardware models have been introduced after the standard support period for particular z/OS releases. In some of those cases, IBM offers extended support (called "Lifecycle Extension") to run the older z/OS release on the newer hardware, with support. In those cases (as noted in the table), the Lifecycle Extension is required to obtain the necessary toleration PTFs. z/OS.e 1.8 on the z10 BC is listed as "Yes," with no special Lifecycle Extension note. Here's the Web-accessible 2098DEVICE (z/OS subset) information which provides a list of PTFs: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1_2098DEVICE_2098-ZOS These are the minimum requirements for 1.8 on a z10 BC (but please check 2098DEVICE for any updates and more information): The following z/OS V1R8 APARs/PTFs are minimally required to run this release on a z10 BC processor: FMID APAR PTF COMMENT HBB7730 OA26272 UA43919 BCP WLM/SRM HBB7730 OA26310 UA44124 BCP WLM/SRM HBB7730 OA20135 UA38881 BCP WLM/SRM HBB7730 OA20633 UA39385 BCP SUP JBB773J OA20633 UA39388 BCP SUP Japan HBB7730 OA23333 UA39385 BCP SUP HBB7730 OA20418 UA39308 BCP WLM/SRM JBB773J OA20418 UA39344 BCP WLM/SRM Japan HBB7730 OA23719 UA39451 BCP Reconfig HBB7730 OA22675 UA39410 BCP HDW Performance HIO1104 OA25512 UA90399 IOCP EER3500 IO09096 UO00848 EREP HCS7720 OA24287 UA90464 HCD JCS772J OA24287 UA90465 HCD Japan HCM1810 IO05753 UO90002 HCM HRM7730 OA12774 UA39277 RMF HRM7730 OA24074 UA40031 RMF JRM773J OA24074 UA40053 RMF Japan HMQ4150 PK58463 UK33787 HLASM HVT6180 OA23066 UA37871 CommServer SNA HWRE310 OA23746 UA40358 System Automation z/OS 3.1 HWRE320 OA24078 UA40361 System Automation z/OS 3.2 - - - - - Timothy Sipples Resident Enterprise Architect STG Value Creation & Complex Deals Team IBM Growth Markets (Based in Singapore) E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
