John - Thanks for the definition. That brings furthur questions. How does
data get into the cache that can't be written to disk? Is that something
caused by a power failure for the device, or some other failure? Also, I
would think that if that condition can cause the 2107 not to work, that
there should be some easy way for the customer to push a button or type in
something on the service console to clear the cache. To me it sounds like a
design flaw, although I haven't kept up with the technical details of the
2107 as well as I should be.

Subject: Re: Pinned data on 2107 aka DS8000
I hate to ask a dumb question, but what is pinned data? I'm
sure I once
knew the answer to that question, but I can't for the life of
me remember
what it is.

Data in cache which cannot be flushed onto the physical DASD, IIRC.
