Different systems will use a different category codes in SYS1.PARMLIB(DEVSUPxx), as long as the the unconnected systems have unique volume serial numbers then its no problem.
Two or more unconnected systems can share one big partition, or it can be divided into 2 or more partitions and controlled by storage class routines. The size of each partitions can be changed on the fly. I have 8 different SMSPLEXs (8 different CA-1 TMCs) all residing in one partition. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg248366.pdf Brian On Thu, Jul 20, 2017 at 7:07 AM, Rob Schramm <rob.schr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Try TS7700 as well. > > Rob Schramm > > On Wed, Jul 19, 2017, 6:24 AM Lizette Koehler <stars...@mindspring.com> > wrote: > > > A quick internet search using > > > > IBM TS7760 > > > > Should turn up helpful links and documents > > > > This one may be helpful > > > > IBM TS7760: Features and benefits - IBM Storage > > > > > > Lizette > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] > On > > > Behalf Of ??? ?? ??? > > > Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2017 3:15 AM > > > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > > > Subject: 7760 > > > > > > Hi, > > > We're being offered a TS7760, and I have some questions: > > > > > > 1.
