We have a z/OS.e 1.6 OS running in an LPAR on a zSeries (z890-270) using a single (shared CP) engine, single (shared) gigabit Ethernet (OSA Express) adapter port. We're running a 31-bit TSM server (that's all there is for us thus far) - 5.2.6.2. I mention this because this TSM server is running

In addition to Richard Sims' consistently excellent and insightful response, one should also ensure that the microcode/firmware levels are up to date - but if it ain't broke, don't fix it also applies, as well. We have noticed significant behavioral differences between microcode/firmware levels

Bruno, That is because simultaneous write only comes into play during certain operations. Simultaneous write is not implemented for migration operations performed by the server. Read the section of the Adminstrator's Guide entitled Using the Simultaneous Write Function to Protect Your Data.

Joni, I suspect that, after the Total Buffer Requests hits a million or two, the statistics should report a better Cache Hit Pct.. The more I/O to the database, the better the reported Cache Hit Pct. should become - assuming a normal workload, access pattern, etc. Also, is this server

I think this is an excellent idea, but I'd much rather see result set processing supported in a new scripting language - let's say REXX. The world is already too complex and REXX is simple yet powerful enough to provide everything one could ever - ...well, let's not go that far... - but you get

Hello, Eliza. Yes, I have also seen this behavior (with the 5.2.0.1 client). Regarding the Client Acceptor Daemon (CAD) listening on port 1581, after running the wizard, I change the MANAGEDSERVICES statement in dsm.opt from WEBCLIENT SCHEDULE to simply SCHEDULE (because, of course, I use the

Eliza, If the CAD has not been configured (via dsmcutil or wizard) and started on the machine in question, then there's no TSM client service to do the listening - and the GUI B/A client does not listen, either. You can verify with netstat, like Ted said. The CAD service, when installed via the

Hello, Thomas. We run a 4.2.3.2 TSM under OS/390 2.10, also. We run it on a tiny little 7060-H50 (Multiprise 3000) and have an approximately 110mb/sec network connection (that's a bandwidth measurement - not a theoretical number). Furthermore, we run our OS/390 in a V=R virtual machine under
