Thanks to all for the info.... I just found out a little more...
We're taking a customer running some old VM (don't know just what
release yet) from an old MP3000 to a small z9... I thought it was
going on a used z890...
So to rephrase my question (sorry 'bout that)... What's the oldest
release that will run on a z9? It would be nice to be able to move
them to the z9, then upgrade to z/VM 5.3 rather than having to change
hardware and software at the same time...
Sorry for the false start on the question...

Hi... Does anyone know/remember the oldest (first) realease of
VM that would run on a Z processor? I know z/VM 5.1 required a
Z. But what from earlier releases would run on a Z? 4.4? 4.3?
4.2?
Lee:
According to the z900 announcement letter, the following VM
releases were supported at GA.
* z/VM 3.1.0
* VM/ESA 2.4.0
* VM/ESA 2.3.0
* VM/ESA 2.2.0
According to the z800 announcement letter, the following VM
releases were supported at GA.
* VM/ESA 2.4.0 with APARs VM62676, VM62811, VM62942 and VM62665
* z/VM 3.1.0
* z/VM 4.1.0
* z/VM 4.2.0 with APARs VM62938 and PQ51738 for HiperSockets
As you may remember, we announced z/VM 3.1 with the z900 and then
quickly repackaged (and repriced) the product as z/VM 4.1/4.2.
All three releases shipped in 2001.
