Hi, Larry. First, welcome to the VM community and this listserv. I think you'll find the folks here extremely friendly and helpful.....
Installing z/VM 5.2, say, as a guest of z/VM 5.1 is called "doing a second level installation". The installation steps are described in the IBM publication " Guide for Automated Installation and Service" (GC24-6099-01), in Chapters 3 and 7. You can find this publication on the IBM publications web site at: http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/bkserv/zvmpdf/zvm51.html The edition listed there is for z/VM 5.1, but I suspect that in a day or two there will be a version for 5.2 as well. Good luck and if you have any more concerns or questions, don't hesitate to ask. We're here to help...... Larry Macioce wrote: > I'm am very new to z/vm,so please bear with me.
