Would you recommend putting this 5.4 zEnterprise compatibility maintenance on at Level 1 or Level 2.
We currently have both environments for 5.4. I suppose the quickest and easiest (maybe dirtiest too?) way is just to put it on at Level 1 and fall back to CPOLD if there is a problem. "Best practice" may call for putting it on at Level 2 first, but the nature of the change may not warrant that level of effort. There are, however, 45 or more prereq fixes also going on with these 2 APARs, VM64879 VM64881. Just interested in what everyone thinks.

Also you want to check PSP on IBMLink and look for 2817DEVICE and see what recent stuff is needed for that system type (or whatever one you are installing). ________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bruce Hayden Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2010 7:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [IBMVM] What is the z/VM 5.4 Compatibility PTF for z196?

We will probably take your advice. We will probably bring up the z196 with 5.4 first and then move 6.1 up to Level 1 afterwards. -- Bruce Hayden z/VM and Linux on System z ATS IBM, Endicott, NY
