>Any good cookbooks/ref's on install steps--hints--cautions..? I see where some books were supplied in a later post and these are the ones. Am big into SMB because of hosting a Windows File system of ZIP files of data created on a back-end imaging system which need to be FTP-Like transferred out to partners. Am running Data Exchanges as a Line-of-Business and by having the SMB share on z/OS, it saves a FTP-Like transfer from Windows to z/OS. Besides we can DR the data to a remote location (SRDF-A). They just operate on it just as it was all on Windows. On the z/OS side we are all zFS and have noticed performance issues of the DFSKERN STC running on z/OS. It is the largest consumer of CPU, even more than ADABAS and JES2 combined with CICS as #4 on the list. Have done all the performance related things SMB tells one to do and it is still "eating my lunch". The SMB folks are saying they see no issues with SMB. The zFS is big with manyyyyyy files contained within. I seem to remember two SHARES ago attending many zFS sessions where they apologized for how large zFS files performed and were working the issue. Would be interested if anyone has stumbled over this issue and have any ideas. Our PMR has been hanging out there for some time and I will not let them close it (20536,487,000) for I still contend there is a problem and besides I am doing VWLC and it is driving my costs way up. You may respond offlist if you prefer. I think SMB is a stellar idea for now it gets "us" mainframers working with our Windows Brethren sharing the wealth. Also host Oracle DBs on zLinux where the applications runs on Windows. Again the DBs have DR and it is much easier for them to recover a fairly static application in a DR. True I could run it all on zLinux, but it gives each of us a piece of the action. Any ideas on SMB or zFS performance appreciated. jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
