In z/VM 4.3 announcement: * Support for up to 32,760-cylinder Enterprise Storage Server(tm) (ESS) 3390 volumes. The 32,760-cylinder 3390 volume helps relieve device address constraints and improves disk resource utilization. Storage administrator productivity may be improved by providing the ability to consolidate multiple disk volumes into a single address. Support for ESS large volumes by DFSMS/VM(r) and the Directory Maintenance Facility is provided with the PTFs for APARs VM63004 and VM62907, respectively.

Would someone point me down a short path to the details on this beast? TIA Garry E.

My knowledge about DASD technology is pretty dated. We've usually just been given whatever os/390 is finished with, which, to be honest, has usually been adequate here for VM needs (although we do have an i/o bound FOCUS job that is having trouble meeting it's deadline that must be addressed too). Now we've been asked to put together a list of what Linux on VM might need in terms of DASD. Our situation so far has been build it and they will come. They are starting to come (we have 13 or so Linux guests now) but don't have a grand scheme of replacing the world (yet :). So far, we're mainly doing apache and another app which uses mysql. So what would you ask for if you didn't know what you needed and wanted to be prepared:) Our MVS environment has moved to all mod 9, mod 27, and FICON. Are these well suited to Linux? How about remote copy support (we do run our disaster recovery in house).
