- Direct frame upgrade paths from z900 and z990.
Just curious: What does it mean exactly ?
Is it marketing or technical option/possibility ?
Explanation of terms above
- marketing upgrade: you sign contract for 'upgrade' and IBM takes your
old RVA and delivers new ESS Shark. Technically one box is pulled,
another is pushed.
- technical upgrade: you sign contract for ESS Shark upgrade (i.e. add
more 8-packs) or upgrade 2084A08-303 to -304 model, or even A08 to B16.
Personally I don't believe how it would be possible to replace some
components in z/900 to have z990. Another cabinet, MCM, memory, etc.
Haven't seen new z9 animal.
