VTS - Stacked Volume Ejects without a Warning Message

2009-02-16 Thread Richman, Saul
Hello Question: Has anyone ever seen a VTS machine eject Stacked Volumes *without* sending a message to the Hosts? If Yes, do you know why and what did you do to fix it? Setup: We run 3 IBM Mainframe hosts (TPF, MVS and VM) attached to 2 IBM 3494 Model B18 VTS Machines with 3494-L14 Library

I mis-read the original post. I thought the z9 was being replaced, not the z890. Having re-read the OP, I would say the toleration maint is mandatory for the z/890 LPARs, and highly desireable for the z9 LPARs. Apologies to the OP. snipSubject: Re: z10 toleration maintenance Staller, Allan
