Subject: Re: Finally get to go from os390 2.10 to zOS 1.8
The only time that I would ever advise two steps is when you have not yet
moved your OS/390 system to a z-series hardware box. And in that case
it's
really just a small-step before the big-step where you need to put the
z-series maintanence on the OS/390 system to support the z-series
hardware.
There is actually very little testing involved and the end users are
normally not inconvenienced in any way.
Huh? IBM says flat out that OS/390 cannot run on a z9 at all. Otherwise my
client would have done that instead of installing a z9 with z/OS V1R8 in
parallel and then cutting over in August (which I'm working on right now, by
the way). My client brought in Mainline and IBM so that the new system
would be "certified".
