I seem to recall that DB2 has issues with VOLATILE but do not remember what they are. Will you have DB2 running on them?
Lizette [>] Snip I have been looking at Logger performance as we have increases significantly the amount of data going into Logger in the last few years. One thing I am considering in conjunction with our next CEC installation is to have the z/OS team set the ICF partition in the new CEC as VOLATILE: NO. With a non-volatile CF in another failure domain (CEC) it looks like I could improve throughput and reduce I/O on some of my heavily used logstreams. We have redundant power connection and triple redundant power architecture in the data center. It seems that if you have a reliable UPS infrastructure and redundant connections from the z box to different PDU's this is reasonable. Does anyone order the internal battery on a CEC? Does anyone set a standalone CF or ICF partition as VOLATILE: NO without an internal battery?
