Re: Zprc question
Hi guys, Is there anyone use the ZPRC to assign those processors. In our shop, we have 4 lpars with a CPU model 2094-707. Here is the information: 1.CP shared 2.CAP =yes 3. Weight = 74.1% after calculated from zprc I got the following result LP capacity(min=2455 mips, max = 2455) when LP=5 LP capacity(min=2421 mips, max = 2421) when LP=6 LP capacity(min=2398 mips, max = 2398) when LP=7 As I know, there are some overhead when increase the number of LP but I wonder, our shop CPU utilization is dropped around 5%-10% after I turn on the LP from 5 to 7 with equal weight and CAP=YES. How comes? from zPRC the LP capacitu should be downgrade from 2455 to 2398 mips. regards john -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: 3277 terminals and emulators
The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to bit.listserv.ibm-main,alt.folklore.comptuers as well. [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Michael Ross) writes: So far, the only leads I have are that the 3270 card in the XT/370 desktop mainframe machine did 3277 emulation - but I don't know if it supported Model 1 mode. Ditto for the 'Appleline' external 3270 box for early Mac amp; Lisa machines; again I've heard that supported 3277, but don't know about Model 1 specifically. the signals on the cable change between 3272/3277/ANR and 3274/3278/DCA (although 3274 supported the attachment of 3277) part of the difference was reducing the manufacturing costs of the terminal, they moved a lot of the electronics that had been in the 3277 head back into the controller. there had been some amount of work on modifying 3277 to improve the 3277 human factors ... which were then no longer possible with 3278 (since all the logic was now back in the controller). One of the issues was (because of the fundamental half-duplex) ... if you were typing when the system wrote to the head ... the keyboard would lockup and you needed to hit the reset key. A 3277 keystroke fifo was created that would handle the input/output sequencing and hold keystrokes in the buffer to avoid the keyboard lockup. Another was being able to modify the repeat key/delay timing to significantly increase the rate. another aspect was because so much processing had been moved back into the (3274) controller ... that interactions that were nearly instantaneous on 3272/3277 would be around 1/2 second on 3274/3278 ... making .25 second interactive response impossible the jokes at the time was that the data entry applications were fairly insensitive to system response and TSO with minimum of 1second response already never saw the difference. misc. past posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001m.html#17 3270 protocol http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001m.html#19 3270 protocol http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002k.html#6 IBM 327x terminals and controllers (was Re: Itanium2 power http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2004e.html#0 were dumb terminals actually so dumb??? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007r.html#10 IBM System/3 3277-1 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007t.html#40 Why isn't OMVS command integrated with ISPF? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007t.html#42 What do YOU call the # sign? -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: Problem changing pools for HSM tape output
Chris, Thanks for taking an interest. No the HSM parms were fine as the 9840s are emulated 3490 (decision was made before my time, don't ask me to justify it). Problem was that HSM had some partially full tapes from the pool that I was trying to get away from. Once those were delvol'd Markfull and the target pools were all properly defined to TMS and the TMS parms were refreshed to allow a change from 18trk to 36trk on the fly, everything worked fine. Learned a bit about TMS in the process and the BP didn't go up too much.

Re: Problem changing pools for HSM tape output
Dave, Glad it's working. The only other thing I could think of was that HSM was finding mixed device types (e.g. both 3490 and 3590) under the same esoteric. It does not like that, squawks during startup, and will ignore the SETSYS command setting the units. Just for future reference..

What's the upgrade path for existing p595, migrate to z9 using IFL or p6? any comment will be appreciated Tommy I would assume you would move to the newly announced Power servers. There is a Power 595 which uses p6. From what little I have read it is just a renamed p595 that use the p6 chip instead of the p5. Depending on what you are doing, I don't know if converting your applications from AIX to Linux and running on IFL's would get you anything. Converting/migrating to Linux on IFL's is generally a benefit if you have a lot of servers doing next to nothing, or that are running on older and much less powerful platforms. At one time I believe IBM's recommendation was for every 15-20 Intel CPU's averaging 5% busy you need at least one IFL. That was for a z900 or z990 though. I don't know what it may be for a z9 or even a z10. I do know that for software pricing a IFL is 100 value units for z990 and z9's and for a z10 they rate it at 120 value units. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
