12.2.10 Migration considerations
A DS6000 will be supported as an IBM 2105 for z/OS systems without the DFSMS and z/OS
SPE installed. This will allow customers to
roll the SPE to each system in a sysplex without
having to take a sysplex-wide outage. An IPL will have to be taken to activate the DFSMS and
z/OS portions of this support.
12.2.11 Coexistence considerations
Support for the DS6000 running in 2105 mode on systems without this SPE installed will be
provided. It will consist of the recognition of the DS6000 real control unit type and device
codes when it runs in 2105 emulation on these down-level systems. Input/Output definition
files (IODF) created by HCD may be shared on systems that do not have this SPE installed.
12.3 z/VM enhancements
z/VM is an IBM operating system that supplies a virtual machine to each logged-on user. The
DS6000 will be supported on z/VM 4.4 and higher.

12.4 z/VSE enhancements
z/VSE is a system that consists of a basic operating system (VSE/Advanced Functions) and
any IBM-supplied and user-written programs required to meet the data processing needs of a
user. VSE and the hardware that it controls form a complete computing system. The DS6000
will be supported on:
z/VSE 3.1 and higher.
