I can answer #3. Yes z/VM 5.4 will run on a z114. We are running it on a z196 (big brother to z114), but we had to apply maintenance to z/VM 5.4.
You can find a list of PTFs for z/VM 5.4 to support the z196 and z114 at http://www.vm.ibm.com/service/vmreqze.html Thanks..

Hi list Looking for the way forward. Have a Z9 with 1 CP and 5 IFL's. Have 4 X Z/VM 5.4 LPARS with various versions of SUSE Linux running as guests and a Z/OS Prod and Test Lpar. Are installing a Z114 in a few weeks time and would like to upgrade to Z/VM 6.2 also Questions. 1) Is it easier to move the Z/VM 5.4 Lpars over with the Suse Guest's and then upgrade to Z/VM 6.2? Or should I install Z/VM 6.2 and then move the guests (Will keep all of the device address's the same on the new machine.) 2) According to IBM Z/OS 1.7 will not run natively in an LPAR on the Z114. We need to run it under Z/VM as a guest. Has anyone run into this problem? - Though I would create a separate Lpar with Z/VM and 2 X Z/OS guests (Prod an Test) 3) Does Z/VM 5.4 run on a Z114?
