Marcy: You were one of the first, if not the first, to be up and running a z/196 with z/VM 5.4.
What compatibility APARs, PTFs for z196 to you apply?

I am running 5.4 and I applied the following APARs per PSPs VM64798, VM64879, VM64881 (for basic support) VM64793, VM64672, VM64799, VM64820, VM64672, VM64747, VM64807 (for various products and other functionality) We did not have any problems with the upgrade to date.

You are 6.1 so maybe it is different. But if not, I better find out fast.

I start with a z/VM 6.1 system that is up to the latest RSU, service level 1002. ==> q cplevel z/VM Version 6 Release 1.0, service level 1002 (64-bit) Generated at 11/05/10 13:53:17 EDT IPL at 11/05/10 14:50:40 EDT Then, disregarding HCD and HCM, I believe the list of APARs to apply is "VM64774 VM64798 VM64879 VM64881 VM64793 VM64820 VM64814 VM64807 VM64799".

There is also one "non-SES" PTF (UV61111) for EREP that also must be applied separately, but that is a different story. Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks.
