I always wanted to see one doing that stunt [1], just to see what z/OS will do [MIH and abends for example], or more specifically, what will that drive's controller and its cache will do with those orphaned blocks.
Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht [1] - One of our operator pushed by accident a trolley full of 3480 cartridges over some ESCON optic cables. It was while we were installing ESCON and getting those copper wires out. Some of thes cables were 'live' and others were waiting to be connected. Luckily only those cables waiting to be connected, were damaged, while the 'live' ones were very dangerously lied nearby!!!!!! We had to fly in new cables while the op was 'enjoying' the 'Red Carpet' before the top brass... Ouch-ouch-ouch... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
