To install from DVD second-level, the first-level system must be z/VM
5.1 or later. There are programs on MAINT 2CC that you need for the DVD
install, and 5.1 was the first release that had them. I suspect that if
you have access to a z/VM 5.x system, you could copy over the MAINT 2CC
disk to your z/VM 4.3 system and use that, but I haven't tried it. The
process uses PIPE FTPGET, but I don't know if that works with z/VM 4.3's
TCP/IP stack. There's a special version of PIPE on MAINT 2CC, so that
isn't a problem.
The first-level system must be running in 64-bit mode for both tape and
DVD.

Subject: Re: [IBMVM] z/VM 5.3 or z/VM 5.2
To install (hence run) a z/VM 5.2 or 5.3 secondlevel, you need z capable
HW, and the base VM system must be running in 64-bit mode too. I didn't
read the books, but if you use tape, you surely can install under 4.3.
The isntallation from DVD or via FTP may have different pre-reqs.

Hello Everyone,
I am getting ready to upgrade z/VM 4.3. I am under the
impression that I have to install (second level)
z/VM 5.2. Then I can install z/VM 5.3 second level under z/VM
5.2.
I thought that you could not install z/VM 5.3 second level
under z/VM 4.3.
Am I correct?
