I think that I might have mentioned this before but I have successfully (several times) migrated 2.8 and 2.9 system to a Z9. Admittedly, we didn't leave the client there for very long, (less than a week) while we moved them to z/OS, but it ran okay. Brian Westerman

We are currently running a production OS390 V2R10 on a z9 BC. BUT, we have to do any HCD changes from a z/OS 1.4 lpar with the z990 compatibility ptfs installed. I do not know about V2R4. Silvio On Mon, 1 Oct 2007 10:56:34 -0700, Rankin, Bob [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Our production environment

We attempted to run a soon to be eliminated OS/390 2.6 system on a z/890 a while back. The system did IPL, but once more than a few users got on, performance was terrible. We moved them back to the Amdahl that came off lease until we could upgrade it to OS/390 2.10 (then supported).

I can only speak for OS/390 2.9 and 2.10 on the Z9 as being able to run, I have never tried an older version, mostly because we have not had a client with an older version move to a Z9 (at least not with my help). I think that there are better ways to accomplish what you need though, I could
