I got one civil reply offline. The uncivil one from eastern Europe is
not worth the courtesy of a reply.
I will attempt to rephrase the question(s) below.
I have a customer that is looking at the most current IBM system.
I do not have contact with anyone that has the most current IBM
system, so I am asking the group nicely, several questions.
These are more operations (IMO) issues questions and figured the
group would have the knowledge to reply.
I did google and really didn't come up with any answers pertaining to
IBM's MF implementation of Flash cards.
Has anyone have experience with implementing IBM's (NOT STK or OEM)
flash cards.
What is the typical longevity of IBM's Flash cards and do you keep a
few around just in case or ?
IF/when they reach their end of life do you toss them return them to
IBM etc... (how many spares do you keep on hand)
How does your company handle replacements ie operations (or another
group) handles the insertion and taking out of "old" cards.
IOW operations side of the of the handling.
Thanks in advance for any information.
