I would ask what type of hardware is your SAN? I am running on 2 DMX3000 Storage Arrays by EMC. We share the box but not the disks with the open system folks. They have the SAN stuff.
One storage array is the primary DASD that we normally run off of. The second is populated by EMC's Replication process and therefore all of the SYSRES data is constantly being updated on the second Storage Array incase the primary array fails. If it does, the EMC software will "swap" us up to the replicated string and we are still running. Coming back is more fun, as we use the Autoswap software to do that. We are always on Mainframe dasd never SAN. And as RS pointed out, the mainframe does not use SAN. We live on a DMX where SAN and mainframe share the box but not the disks.

There are no non-SAN disks in mainframe. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
