Hi, Ed. I believe that if you ordered z/VM 5.2 on tape media, that you can install it 2nd level under VVM 4.3 on your z890 system. The DVD install requires that the fist level system have an exec named DVDPRIME available to do a 2nd level install, and 4.3 lacks that.
Good luck and have a good one. DJ ----- Original Message Follows ----- From: "Edward M.
