The IBM zEnterprise System is comprised of the IBM zEnterprise 196, the IBM zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager, built-in support for the IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension (zBX), and optimizers or IBM blades. Preparing z/OS systems to support the new IBM zEnterprise System is easy. All supported releases can run on the new server; and enhancements in SMP/E V3.5 integrate the identification, verification, acquisition, and installation of required PTFs into standard SMP/E processing.

In this session, the speaker will cover z/OS software and configuration changes required to support the latest IBM zEnterprise System, the IBM zEnterprise 196 central processor complex (CPC), the IBM zEnterprise Unified Resource Manager, and the IBM zEnterprise BladeCenter Extension (zBX). He will describe the different functionality supported on each z/OS release, as well as any migration or exploitation actions required to use new functions on the IBM zEnterprise System. Systems programmers and their managers who will upgrade to the latest server will find lots of useful information in this session.
