I believe that there would be technical issues simulating a DASD controller on S/390 or Z. It's much easier if you can install software on both ends.

Is there any way for one mainframe to export storage to another mainframe as something more than NFS? E.g. could a zD&T-LE provide CKD storage to another CEC? > I also have a plan and I think I will be able to get some mainframe > attached virtual tape set up. I have no idea what it's capability is, but I've used a virtual tape package, I think it was named "MVT", for Open Systems. Maybe it could be made to do something for you. > I would like to get in contact with someone about getting software > disks/licences for my machine. I wonder how flexible zD&T-LE licensing might be. Could zD&T-LE's /licensed/ software run on your z114 /legally/? -- I have no doubt that it's /technically/ /possible/ to do so. -- Grant. . . . unix || die ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
