We upgraded from an H50 to a z9bc and had no issues - except when we inadvertently IPLed the z9 on the same packs the 7060 was IPLed off. For some reason the 7060 didn't like somebody else coming and stepping on his page packs!
We built a completely new set of IODF/IOCDS information for the z9 so didn't run into the issues Dave did. The business partner we worked with was extremely helpful in getting the I/O configuration right. We went through the PSP buckets and made sure we had all maintenance on before trying the conversion. We are also at z/OS 1.4. Rex Dave, FYI, the 7060 doesn't use PCHIDs. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Salway, Nigel Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 1:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Conversion experience from MP3000 to z9 BC Dear friends, We are currently converting to a z9 BC machine from an MP3000 (7060-H30). We are running z\OS 1.4 and have prepared the software following the PSP information in the 2096UPGRADE bucket. So far, our test system has IPLed successfully and we have not encountered any issues. However, for the sake of completeness, I was wondering if anyone the list who underwent a similar upgrade can pass on any experiences, suggestions or warnings.
