Hi
I know this was discussed awhile back, but is there any compelling
reason why I need to go to z/VM 6.1 for a z196 install? The more I
read about z/VM 6.1 it seems that most of the enhancements are covered
under z/VM 5.4 at the latest level. But I just wanted to make sure
that there is nothing in 6.1 for z196 that is not in 5.4 at the latest
level?
Thanks for the help!

Terry,
We went z196 at z/VM 5.4 with 2817 PSP and q cplevel = 1002, ( RSU 5407
if I recall correctly).
If zBX is not a requirement, z/VM 5.4 with 2817 PSP will get'r done.
If exploiting a zBX is in your very near future, z/VM 6.1 is a must do.
Regards, Doug
