Also you need : ow49828 on too! new function apar for 9840c
we upgraded our 9840a escon to 9840c ficon . backups job that stack datasets on to one tape run slower on the 9840c than 9840a its the stacking thats the problem. you may need new microcode. stk says we need newer microcode 508 . This new code is planned for April, which is usually towards the end of the month, so that's a good seven weeks before it is availabe. history: i am still trying to get an answer from engineering on why the 9840C Ficon is that much slower than a 9840A/B when writing many small files with tape marks. I know we are using a neew recording technique on the C, which we didn't have available on the A/B, but I didn't think it would affect performance like this. I'll get an answer We just migrated our ML2 tapes to 9840c. We TAPECOPY this tapes when they get marked full. Does anyone have any experience with using HSM to TAPECOPY these tapes? It is taking around 2-3 hrs. to copy 1 tape. Is anyone else experiencing this?
