Review the option of a Flex-Cub based dasd box. You could then add tape
and other emulation if you wanted to. Should be cheaper than the EMC path.

Hello Everyone,
I appreciate all the info, hints, and tips from everyone.
My game plan has been altered a little.
We are on a MP3000 using EMC Symetrix and Internal dasd.
1) Apply the last RSU to z/VM4.3 which will give me all the
required maintenance (I can find) for the z890.
2) Apply VSE/ESA ptfs for the z890.
3) Get off the Internal DASD, which means upgrading to a
new EMC
box. (Question! How bad is your EMC support?)
4) Migrate to the z890. Should be a push pull at this
point.
5) Migrate/Upgrade to z/VM 5.2.
Again, I do thank you all for discussions on migration,
concerns, and war stories.
