Patrick, Check out the migration action "Migrate to a System z10 server" in your friendly z/OS Migration book, in the section called "Restrictions". From that migration action:
System z10 in a sysplex: The z9 EC and z9 BC are the last servers to support active participation in the same Parallel Sysplex with z900, z800, and earlier servers. If you are running z/OS on a z900 or z800, you cannot add a System z10 server to that sysplex. That is, you will not be able to perform rolling IPLs to introduce a System z10 server if you have any z900 or z800 images (either as z/OS images or coupling facilities) in the sysplex. Any z900 or z800 servers in the sysplex have to be upgraded to a z990, z890, or later server to have a System z10 server supported in the sysplex. If you have any z/OS images or coupling facilities on a z900 or z800, and you intend to introduce a System z10 server into that sysplex, you must migrate those images to z990 or z890 (or later) prior to introducing the System z10 server. In general, the z/OS Migration book in the Hardware chapter will have all the sysplex HW coexistence requirements (both z/OS images and coupling facility) for all the server levels. -Marna WALLE z/OS System Install IBM Poughkeepsie ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
