My question is: If you have two z890s, A with 1 CP and 1 IFL and B with 2
IFL, then in a disaster where A is under a pile of rubble, can you get IBM
to turn on a CP and an IFL in B and still pay the same price for z/OS
z/VM?
Yes, although it's a good idea to contract for that in advance using

Hi,
We received an offer to upgrade our 3590B's to 3590H's.
If we go along with this upgrade, would I have to make any changes in the IO
configuration?
Would I have to reinitialize the tapes, or would that happen automagically?
We are running z/OS 1.7 and CA-1 v11.5.
TIA

These are the FIXINFO.DOC's updates. Stress tests are running now without
any problems using the 3 MFNetDisk modes all together (Sync, ASync and
FastSync).
I am sure that there are more bugs, but I need your help to find the bugs.
We need more tests, different computers, different OS,

When the daughter is entered, the ECB address will be off of R1.
L R2,0(,R1)
R2 should now have the address of the ECB. You can use this to POST
different return codes, should your logic require it.

Now that you can find it, what use can you make of it? You shouldn't
POST it.

Terry,
So you're saying that with IBM Storage, CFW is not remitted to the Remote
Storage. If you turn it off then it just becomes another DFW.
With HDS this was always an option.
BTW, CFW will be destaged to disk just like any other write. A cache Fast
write is only written to Cache and not
The answer to your first paragraph is: Yes. -- Except that the ECB isn't
passed in as a parameter, nor should it be. You would have to pass that
address to your attached task as part of a parameter list, but I can't think
of any reason you would do that.
Let me see if I am understanding it all. There really isn't a need for
the daughter task to POST because the system does automatically when the
daughter process ends. And just about the only information that the
daughter can get from the ECB is whether the parent has issued a WAIT or
not.
I
The bottom line is that one task needs to be suspended until some event
occurs.
WAIT causes MVS to suspend the task until the ECB is posted
POST causes MVS to resume the task that has been waiting.
If you ignore the chatter that has been going on, this is the basis of the
system. Task A must wait

I'm quite clear on how to use ATTACH and WAIT now, thank to all who
helped me.
If your existing drives are FICON attached, probably not. If ESCON
attached, you really want to go FICON. A single 3590H drive, with
compressible data on tape, can easily outperform ESCON throughput. 3590
drives always read/write in streaming mode. For the drive to be
constantly stopping
As I indicated, my primary exposure to this stuff was when CFW and DFW were
first introduced. At that time, the respective caches were comparatively
small. What I found was that once the cache was flooded, the control unit
would hold off new writes (delay execution of the channel program right

You don't mention if these drives are inside an ATL or not. That will make a
slight difference. If they are inside an OAM managed IBM robot, you need to
turn on a compatibility indicator (CA-1 always sets this indicator on, so
it might already be on). This means that for compatibility
