Hsu, While I have not checked all the require microcode and driver levels, at HDS in Santa Clara we have a few USP connect to a z196 for various feature and function tests. I have not heard of any problems with these units being connect to the z196. All z/OS LPARs are at z/OS.12, but I don't know the z/VM and LINUX on z levels of the top of my head.
Please realize that this is a lab environment, and my positive feedback does not imply or confirm that your USP is supported. Before moving forward you should check with your HDS support that the microcode and program products you have installed on your USP, and your FICON switches, meet all the co-requisite requirements of the z196 you will install.
