We are converting to z/VM 5.4 on our new z10. We have one set of z/Linux guests that still run RHEL 4.6. Does anyone know of any issues running RHEL 4.6 under z/VM 5.4?
No, that works just fine with the following exception: If you are running with dedicated OSA ports, RHEL 4.6 has trouble with the OSAExpress3 adapters (doesn't know how to initialize them). Workaround (and general best practice): use VSWITCH to drive the real adapters and attach guests to the vswitch). Also is there anything to watch out for running either z/VM 5.4 or z/Linux RHEL 4.6 or 5.2 on a z10? See above. VM is fine. As usual, apply current service, but it should run fine.
