We have a z9 Business Class machine. We are considering a refurb OSA Express Fast Ethernet card (FC 2366) from a reseller to drive our Sun/STK SL8500 tape silo separate from our enterprise network (as recommended by the vendor). The doc I can find indicates that, though IBM no longer markets these, they will port them to the z9 as part of an upgrade.
Anyone know any reason why this isn't a reasonable approach? The SL8500 internal network only operates at 100Mb, anyway, and the 2366 is MUCH less expensive than the OSA-2 alternatives (FCs 3364 & 3366). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
