>IIRC a z890 will only run a OS in 64-bit mode, no 31-bit mode, in an >LPAR. It may be possible to run a non-64-bit OS under z/VM.
Actually that's not the issue. There are lots of currently supported 31-bit operating systems that'll run just fine on a z890 including VSE/ESA, z/VSE, TPF/ESA, Linux (ESA flavor), and z/OS Bimodal. It's much the same situation for a System z9-109, too. Running this older MVS 3.2.2 (?) version inside an older version of VM inside z/VM could work, but obviously two of those three operating systems will be unsupported. There are some customers doing this (although I'm not sure about this specific MVS version). The one I know about directly has migration work underway to get onto a supported z/OS release. - - - - - Timothy F. Sipples Consulting Enterprise Software Architect, z9/zSeries IBM Japan, Ltd.
