zSeries 990 Technical Guide

Figure 2-18 shows the z990 modes and memory diagram, summarizing all image modes,
with their processor types and the Central Storage (CS) and Expanded Storage (ES)
definitions allowed for each mode.

Figure 2-18 Modes and memory diagram

Table 2-9 shows the z990 storage

allocation

and

usage

possibilities, which depend upon the

image and architecture modes.

Table 2-9 Storage definition and usage possibilities

Remember that either a z/Architecture mode or an ESA/390 architecture mode operating
system can run in an ESA/390 image mode on a z990. Any ESA/390 image can be defined
with more than 2 GB of central storage

and

can have expanded storage. These options allow

you to configure more storage resources than the operating system is capable of addressing.

ESA/390 mode

In ESA/390 mode, storage addressing can be 31- or 64-bits, depending on the operating
system architecture

and

the operating system configuration.
