How much DASD do you own? It has always scared me when the architecture outstrips the ability to back it up. The same thing happened going to XA. A sophisticated user brought down one of our test systems by accessing all 2 gig of virtual storage in a test program. There is no way we could realistically back someone (or several someones) trying to access all 16 exabtyes.
