Mike,

I'm not sure what should be understood by "Single System Image" ?
Could you give me a brief explanation of this meaning ?

I don't have any IBM inside information, but I suspect that there may be a
few reasons, including:

1- It's an Architectural Level Set, requiring a z10.  A big deal.  A
version number increment may help make that more obvious (to those with
IBM history).
2- It's the base for the z/VM Single System Image statement of direction. A bigger deal. Single System Image is going to be a MAJOR change to z/VM.
3- Because they can.  :-)

Did pricing change?

No.

One does wonder, "Why the version number change?"
