We test new z/VM releases on second level machines and then implement on first level. We don't have separate vm test LPARs for new releases.

I know this is to talk about z/OS not VM but had a question. You can reply to me off-line if you want. We are starting to run Linux under z/VM for applications we will be porting over to it as away to consolidate work. Since my unit is responsible for the mainframe and the OS we also do z/VM installs etc. I am asking for a test environment for z/Vm so if new versions come out of Websphere/ Linux or z/VM we have a place to put it on. The person doing it said no the best thing to do is run the new version a second level VM system and we can test anything new in it. Im trying to find out for shops out there running z/VM do they have a test platform as in separate LPAR or how are they handling this? What is best practices in this area. I know for z/OS we have our test lab and sysplex just for the system programmers. Any ideas? Thanks!
