We have run OS/390 2.10 under z/VM 4.3 on a z9BC.

Is anyone out there running OS/390 2.9 (or earlier) as a guest of zVM (5.2 in my case, but probably does not matter) on a z9 ?? I'm trying to migrate a customer from a FLEX system to a z9 and they have an old, "un-maintained" OS/390 2.9 guest. It was running as a VM guest with dedicated disks on the FLEX system (zVM 4.4). I've brought everything over to the z9 and converted the disks to full-pack minidisks to (hopefully) eliminate problems related to using the DS6800 subsystem. Other than the full-pack minis vs. dedicated, I believe everything is the same. However, when I try to IPL OS/390, it runs for a while (say, 15 seconds) then gets: HCPGIR453W CP entered; program interrupt loop I know this can sometimes be an 'architectural' type problem and I'm just afraid it may be this time. I have verified that the OS/390 IPL does run a while... it gets to processing the IPLPARM. (If I specify an invalid IPLPARM I get an appropriate wait state code loaded.) So I know it is at least running for a little while. Any suggestions out there?? Mike C. M.
