Planned availability September 20.
On another note, can someone point me to the announcement for
end-of-availability for purchasing upgrades to a z10BC? I must be brain-dead
because I haven't been able to find it, and in this GINMF (Google is not my
friend).

OK, I'd be remiss if I didn't post the z/OS V2.1 and z/OSMF V2.1
announcement letter links, so before I get to your question:
http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?subtype=ca&infotype=an&supplier=897&letternum=ENUS213-292
http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?subtype=ca&infotype=an&supplier=897&letternum=ENUS213-308
I think the dates have passed for z10BC upgrades. From:
"Hardware withdrawal: IBM System z10 EC, IBM System z10 BC, and a
selected IBM zEnterprise 196 feature - Replacements available"
IBM United States Withdrawal Announcement 911-072
July 12, 2011
"Effective June 30, 2012, IBM® is withdrawing from marketing:
" All models of the IBM System z10® Enterprise Class (z10™ EC) and
all upgrades to the z10 EC from the IBM eServer™ zSeries® 990 (z990),
IBM System z9® EC (z9™ EC), or IBM System z10 BC (z10 BC)
" All models of the IBM System z10 Business Class (z10 BC) and all
upgrades to the z10 BC from the IBM eServer zSeries 890 (z890) or IBM
System z9 BC (z9 BC)
" Model conversions and hardware MES features applied to an existing
z10 EC or z10 BC server
"Field installed features and conversions that are delivered solely
through a modification to the machine's Licensed Internal Code (LIC)
will continue to be available until June 30, 2013. After June 30, 2013,
features and conversions that are delivered solely through a
modification to the LIC will be withdrawn."
Hint for searching announcement letters: Use the product number rather
than the product name. (The product number for z10BC is 2098.)
