Hello Jim,
I did this at TELXON and some other sites.
We had to because of some VM software running that needed to be upgraded
and
We were force to get on the new machine (now) per management.
I do not agree with having z/VM under Z/VM and then VSE under
that.
You will need lots of horsepower to get the performance.
Why not Z/VM and a bunch of VSE's?
