> I know I need zOSMF to install 3.1. My question is, in essence, can (or > should) I order and install a stand-alone zOSMF 3.1 and use that for my z/OS > 3.1 install or am I better off (or is this the only option) installing zOSMF > 2.4 before even heading down the 3.1 path?
Did you install z/OS 2.4 using ServerPac? If so, then unless you specifically deleted it, you already have z/OSMF installed on your z/OS 2.4. You may not have it configured and running, but it should be there. If it is present, then recommend configuring and starting the z/OSMF server on your z/OS 2.4 in preparation for installing z/OS 3.1. Be sure to install all PTFs associated with the IBM.DrivingSystem-RequiredService fix category. If in fact you do not already have an installed copy of z/OSMF on your z/OS 2.4, then your choices are limited as you can not order or obtain z/OSMF for z/OS 2.4, nor an entire z/OS 2.4. You might be stuck with getting and using the COD (Customized Offerings Driver) which is a load-and-go z/OS containing a z/OSMF server which you can then use to install z/OS 3.1.
