Hardware Requirements

All hardware and software requirements for your system must be met prior to installing, upgrading, or maintaining the CA Datacom/AD package of products for the z/OS environment.

Hardware requirements are as follows:

• An IBM mainframe that runs any currently supported IBM z/OS operating system.

  Note: Any z/OS that is in the IBM extended support program is not included as supported by CA Datacom.

If System Managed Storage (SMS) is being used, you are required not to mix device types in a storage class used for CA Datacom.
