Bob, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the upgrade does include Escon to Ficon upgrade. I'll pass your suggestion on to the IODF folks. Dave

Define PAVs as DYNAMIC and Not STATIC; the DASD Subsystem will put the water where the fire is. I have seen 47 PAVs (I have 48 defined to each LCU) volumes to one logical device. Also if you are ESCON consider going to FICON; a considerable difference in performance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
