We have a problem in our disk array. One of the ficon channel controller cards is down. Our ops wants to swap it today. This will require downing 3 channel paths out of 6 that are shared to z/VM.
In the past, I have always shutdown all Linux instances and z/VM and brought it back after the card swap. If three out of the six are suddenly unavailable, would z/VM ignore them and use the only three that are available? When all the six are available when both cards are functioning, will z/VM auto-detect and use the channels? Would this all be transparent to the Linux guests? Apparently this is not an issue on the z/OS side. -- __________________ Ranga Nathan Work: 714-442-7591 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
