Re: Buying an IBM mainframe
He's now managed to power it up and access the SE and HMC which is impressive. https://blog.mainframe.dev/2019/07/powering-mainframe.html I wonder if he wants to run z/OS since getting a licence could be tricky On Fri, Jul 19, 2019, 2:56 PM Mike Schwab wrote: > Newer HMC code can control 1,2, perhaps more generations back of z > processors.

Re: Buying an IBM mainframe
Newer HMC code can control 1,2, perhaps more generations back of z processors. Older HMC code cannot control newer z processors. This prevents the need for one HMC for each generation at a site.

Buying an IBM mainframe
This blog resonated a lot with me since the generation of Z box being built is more recent. Having just put a Z14 ZR1 in the points he raised were quite relevant even today. https://blog.mainframe.dev/2019/05/buying-ibm-mainframe.html Good luck to him. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
