Hi,all. I am trying to install the z/VM 4.2 under hercules at intel machine a few days ago.I am unsure of this way to use the tape device before getting started. The ddr program ,however, has been loaded from tape device and fully dumped out after 2 hours.(as we know, we need to enough coffee. ;-) ) Actually, my first mistake was missing the LOADPARM parameter in hercules.cnf file and ,you know it is very simple problem, I didn't know why ipl has not been working in hercules until today. If you have tape device,you can install the z/VM in your pc more easily.My hercules 2.15 that fixes a great many problems when running z/VM and specify a loadparm before you input IPL that contains the address of your console.If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you.
