You should be able to get at least 32 virtuals online. We are currently running a way back leveled B18 with LM 531.11B and VTS 2.23.38.05 w/FP11 and have 32 virtual drives on 2 logical controllers. Our TVC is 72 GB and so our FC is less than what would be required to run 64 virtuals. I'm not certain of the FC needed to run 64 virtuals but that may be above FC 3400 which is where we are. Our B18 is actually so old that it did not come with EHPO and we had IBM put it on at a later date. This thing could go right to the museum after we're done here end of November. I've ranted on the B18 in the past as we've had our share of problems, some self-inflicted.
Curious, do you know the size of the TVC?

We can only get one controller online, and none after that. We'd like to have 64 drives in it, but can't get beyond 16. We are designating the units as 3490 which limiits us to 16 per controller. IBM H/W and S/W both said to check are the logical address (CUADD) and the libport- ID in the HCD. However, they said we have them set up properly. Any other suggestions are gratefully accepted. Oh, the model is B18 if that has any bearing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
