Good morning all. The company I'm currently working for have a GDPS, and are using FICON directors inbetween the CEC's.
These directors are out of support, and the company wants to get rid of them. They currently use FICON CTC's between the LPARs in the PLEX. My question is, can we go to point to point (or peer to peer) CTC over dark fibre links? Every FICON diagram I've seen in the various IBM manuals all have a FICON switch or director in the mix, so it's not clear that ptp is possible, although I'm sure it must be. I know we can do VTAM CTC using CF's, and JES with TCPIP, and of course hyperchannel is in the mix, so I'm wondering if we actually need FICON CTC for anything apart from XCF. If anyone can assist, I'd be grateful Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
