You should be fine by applying the PSP. However, since 1.6 goes off support 9/30/2007, I would encourage them to upgrade to 1.8 ASAP after migrating to the z9.

They're currently running zOS 1.6 (guest of zVM with other VSE and zLinux guests) and would preferably like to stay on the 1.6 system. I know that since I installed it a couple of years back that no maintenance has been installed or any PTFs or anything in fact. The system has no users as its only used for EE. After reading the literature it seems that 1.6 is okay to go on the z9BC, all I would have to do is install the 2096DEVICE PSP. Am I correct in this thinking? Or should I do my utmost to convince them to go 1.8 for peace of mind?
