Has anyone converted XCF / GRS ( CNC / CTC ) from ESCON to FICON ? we are looking into this because EC12 has no ESCON thanks to those Einsteins at IBM we also have other ESCON devices some of which can be easily upgraded to FICON others that can not be, we have 1 OPTICA box in proposal but it does a 2:8 conversion we currently have 20 ESCON channels. But this question is really geared towards GRS etc. so ignore rest of my rant thanks, Augie
We converted XCF CTC's from ESCON to FICON a couple of years ago, no problems. I remember that IBM added support via a PTF for native GRS communications over FICON at the zOS 1.12 (?) level and above, but they really recommend GRS over XCF.
