We are running both 31-bit and 64-bit SLES8 on a z9 EC as well as SLES9 64-bit. We had to get new licenses for our new IFL's but we had gone from a z800 to a z9. Mark is correct that Novell still charges the same price for a z9 as for a z900- category 3. You should contact Novell to see if you need new licenses.

Is there anyone had experience to run SLES8 on z9 BC or z9-109 (z9 EC)? We tried to ask our IBM rep, but he said there's no official support on SLES8 running on z9 BC. And do we have to paid anything (SuSE e-license fee) if do not increase the IFL in this upgrade? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ************************************************************************* This communication, including attachments, is for the exclusive use of addressee and may contain proprietary, confidential and/or privileged information.
