If you don't have 5.1 with the DVDPRIME stuff, you can still install it if you've received the DVD. You won't be able to use the one page install sheet, but there is a procedure in the install guide to FTP all the stuff from the DVD up to a VM minidisk. Works well.

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. Dennis O'Brien "I don't have a girlfriend.

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. -- Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium, VM customer support 2007/7/26, Edward M. Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 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?
