We are planning to move our zSeries disk from our 2105-800 to an EMC DMX4 disk array later this year. Currently the 2105 is mirrored and that is what we are probably going to do on the DMX. I believe the 2105 also stripes the zSeries logical volumes across multiple little SCSI disks. The

There is a default port (5001?) which is used if not otherwise specified. You are seeing message APS933I and not some kind of TCP/IP error which would normally suggest that you have a good port setting. You may wish to check for any operator messages about this printer in the system log. Also,

Some printers may require a specific PORTNO= to be coded. Check or specify the DISCINTV= setting. Make sure IPDS is available/started on the printer. Some printers can only handle work from one source at a time so if your vtamprint (or a network connection) is not releasing you may be locked out.

I would go looking into the network side of the house. Since it appears to be happening at a certain time, for a certain duration, that points to the network. And the TN3270 server is not required at 1.8. I'll find out soon on 1.9. And yes, I know MainframeGuilty until proven
