I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "is there a conversion strategy." I need more context to answer it.
I know for sure that the 2.4.19 kernel with IBM's patches has support for FCP. I cannot say if the 2.4.17 patches had it or not. $ locate zfcp /usr/src/linux-2.4.19/include/config/zfcp.h /usr/src/linux-2.4.19/include/config/zfcp /usr/src/linux-2.4.19/include/config/zfcp/module.h /usr/src/linux-2.4.19/drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp.c /usr/src/linux-2.4.19/drivers/s390/scsi/.zfcp.o.flags /usr/src/linux-2.4.19/drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp.o /lib/modules/2.4.19/kernel/drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp.o Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: James Melin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 8:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mark, a corollary question on point #3 here Is there a conversion strategy to going this route?

Systems can access storage arrays "natively" without going through that [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3390-emulation layer any longer. (I'm assuming you meant 3390 and not 3380 as you typed it.) Any distribution can support that many 3390 volumes, though. Whether the distribution provider has that support "as distributed" or whether the IT shop has to create the device nodes is another question. M ---snip ---
