Specifically what are these features? Also what do the acronyms SSI and SOD stand for?.

Cool will be the SSI release when it comes (imnsho). 5.4 runs just fine on a z196 (with PTF). marcy ________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of George Henke/NYLIC Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 12:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [IBMVM] Virtualizing a z10 ty, We already have 5.4 at level 1. We just want to take advantage of some of the "cool" features of 6.1 and position for a z196.

Upgrade the machine to a z10 or install 5.4 5.4 actually has a longer service life than 6.1, FWIW. ________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of George Henke/NYLIC Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 12:23 PM To: [email protected] 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.
