This group is for all folks running the original IBM VM/370 Release 6 operating system (or later (e.g. VMTCE (Community Edition)) on Hercules. Like the other early IBM operating systems this version has always been in the public domain and so can be freely distributed. The base version as supplied by IBM is lacking in many facilities. IBM solved this by providing additional extension products which were licensed and so are not available. There are however many user enhancements available which can be installed. In addition, in order to get users up and running quickly updated "releases" of VM/370 included the most popular updates are available for download, so novices can start to learn VM without having to delve into the system internals. It is intended that this wiki will provide information on the base release and these updates.
The available versions are here :-

OSA/SF up and running, was Re: [h390-vm] VM/ESA ADCD package setup?
Yes, I extrapolated from the installation procedure for dirmaint to get that far. And, as luck would have it, I was able to get it all done today. It turns out that the release of OSA/SF for VM/ESA is

That makes sense. I have a lot of VM/ESA documentation, and in there I found the OSA/SF User's Guide, but nothing that covers its installation. There's a big gap between where I am and where I want to
