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 :-

Which Hercules and which host?
This may be a dumb question, but I couldn't find anything helpful after searching here in groups and generally on the web. I'm wanting to rebuild my first serious shop in my home: VM hosting DOS/VS. I

IBM Documentation Hidden At IBM
Did this by accident, and pulled up an old URL for https://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/ifc5g101.pdf and it actually pulled the manual into my web browser. So if you have URLs in your history,

Re: Recursive VM installation?
As mentioned, technically there's no limit. But in practice there is. It all has to do with the overhead you get when running in virtual environments and especially when CPU instructions need to be
