Standing by for CA flames! IMO they only benefit of MIM/MIA is the ability to cross sysplex boundaries
GRS is the logical equivalent of CA/MIM but cannot cross sysplex boundaries. Autoswitch/ATS STAR is the logical equivalent of CA/MIA but cannot cross sysplex boundaries. So, if you don't cross sysplex boundaries MIM/MIA are an unnecessary expenditure of funds. HTH, <snip> I’m curious about using CA MIM Resource Sharing within a sysplex. Historically I used it in the days before sysplex, before PDS/E, before other newfangled contraptions that depend on XCF for serialization. We still use MIA for tape allocation across sysplexes and across data centers. What does MIM offer for ENQ within a sysplex? </snip> ::DISCLAIMER:: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
