Ted, We have a monoplex, a Sysplex(5 lpars) and a Sysplex(2 lpars) that share DASD. There is not much activity between the monoplex and the rest. More between the two Sysplexes. Each Sysplex has its own DASD but can read and write to the other plex's DASD. Looking to save MIM licenses. We have plans but no schedule to reduce the 5 lpars to 4 or 2. Gray

If you don't go beyond 2 SYSPLEX's, GRS-Ring won't hurt too much. And, you can save the cost of 2 MIM licences. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Gray Maddry Operations & System Specialist State of North Carolina Office of Information Technology Services 919-754-6434 Office 919-398-8639 Cell 919-850-2854 Fax 919-754-6000 ITS Service Desk [email protected] http://www.its.state.nc.us E-mail correspondence to and from this address may be subject to the North Carolina Public Records Law and may be disclosed to third parties by authorized state officials ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
