It's certainly hard to believe that IBM built the hardware and software for a
z10 *without* fist emulating both in a virtual environment! After all, that's
what gave VM a renewed life when they tried to kill it... MVS had to have it to
test new releases.
But, of course, perhaps the necessary configuration wasn't 'ready for prime
time' :-)

Seriously, the answer is no.

Subject: [IBMVM] Virtualizing a z10
I have just installed z/VM 61 level 2 on a 2094 which I believe is a z9.
It is not surpiseing that when I try to ipl I get a wait state code of
9030 because it does not like the architecture level.
I don't suppose there is any way of virtualizing aournd this.
