I believe if you check with IBM that the z/10 will only support z/OS 1.7 under
an extended service agreement. z/OS 1.7 should've been EOL back in September.

Subject: zPCR and z/OS 1.7
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".
