We are currently running a z9BC with z/OS 1.7. We want to do a study on upgrading to a z10BC still with z/OS 1.7 initially. We were in the process of installing z/OS 1.9 last year and ran into a problem with a down level VTS we had. We've now upgraded the VTS and are in the process of converting all the tapes from the old to the new system. Once that gets completed we'll be install z/OS 1.9. However, the upgrade to the z10BC might take place before then. I have a couple of questions the esteemed experts on this board can probably answer.
1. I just downloaded version C5.2b of zPCR so I can get the tables for the z10 processors. However, it doesn't look like there is anyway to analyze a system that is running z/OS 1.7. Under the "Single-Image Capacity" tab there is z/OS 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, and 1.9, but it skips z/OS 1.7. What's with that? 2. Will z/OS 1.7 run on the z10BC processor? I don't feel that we've received a good answer concerning that from our IBM (actually Sirius) rep. The answer is "sort of".
