Hi Alan,

I assume this means support for z/VM 4.4 running on a z800 
platform will not be supported after 30 September too?

Thanks,
Alyce

Subject: Alert: Upcoming end-of-service for z/VM 4.4

Back in April there was discussion about the end-of-service date for
z/VM 
4.4.  Based on feedback here and in other venues, we re-examined that 
decision to see if a business case existed that would allow us to
continue 
service.  While there were some reasons to extend z/VM 4.4 service, the 
reasons not to extend service were more compelling.

So, September 30 of this year will bring z/VM 4.4 to an end, and with it

goes support for 9672 G5 and G6, Multiprise 3000, and FLEX-ES (non-PWD) 
machines.  If you are interested in purchasing an extended service 
contract, please contact your IBM Business Partner.

Know that this decision was not [re-]made lightly, and included input
from 
IBM business teams from around the world.
