Ted, What sort of extension equipment are you talking about? For ESCON, 9km is knee in the curve for droop. I think the distance with MM was 2km, and SM was 20k. Combining MM and SM I think ESCD or XDF allowed was supported to 47km, and DWDM would run to 60km, and at that point you are down to

Nothing special, just what is/was native. Go from an ESCON director through the CO, and on to the next director. No HYPERCHANNEL or anything like that. Original message Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2005 18:47:50 +0800 From: Ron and Jenny Hawkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Channel Distances

The following scenario: Primary site is 2-member Parallel Sysplex configuration with datasharing for CICS and DB2. All DASD is mirrored to DR site using PPRC. Due to some reasons it is now impossible to have coupling facility in DR site for testing. Only one z/OS LPAR. I need to change

Ted, a lot of this info can be found in redbooks, specifically sg245444 z9 and zSeries Connectivity Handbook.pdf Marian I was asked the maximum distance that an ESCON Channel could span. IIRC, it was 40km for CTC, 20km for tape, and 9km for DASD. I was not believed. Does anybody

Shmuel, If the mainframe is to be defined as an electronic computer doing commercial work - which, for example, I expect is a definition with which IBM would agree - then we in/from the UK like to propose the LEO as the pioneer. Here's a quotation snip from a BBC site: Fifty years ago the great

Shmuel, My best memory of the frantic golf-ball that was the 1052 when supporting OS-MVT (it was much quieter with BOS and DOS) was when the morning shift was starting up as I was finishing a night's testing. The lead operator knew just exactly when a WTOR had been issued by the system but still
