On our IBM SHARKS F2105's and 8100's; we have 48 PAV's defined to each LCU. I have seen as many as 47 PAVs defined to 1 logical device. Water is put where ever the FIRE IS with Dynamic PAV's. The restriction is the number you have GEN'ed to the LCU. I do not think other DASD Vendors do this. I know at one point in time EMC has a maximum of 8 PAV's per logical device and do not know if that number has been increased. For example In your I/O GEN Real device are gen'ed as 3390B for bases PAV devices are gen'ed as 3390A for Aliases
IODEVICE ADDRESS=(4000,208),CUNUMBR=(AF40),STADET=Y,UNIT=3390B IODEVICE ADDRESS=(40D0,048),CUNUMBR=(AF40),STADET=Y,UNIT=3390A Total 256 devices per LCU. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
