Dear List,
Is there anybody who could shed some light on this matter? Alternatively,
are there any specifications the communications protocols between the HMC
and SE (the SNMP API is somewhat documented, but who knows how to use it..)?
If I'm posting in the wrong section, please let me know.

Hi,
Is is possible to connect a new, Linux-based HMC (v2.10.2) to an old,

Yes, it is possible. I did it, but the level of OS/2 SE is also
important (*). I connected it to SE v1.7 or 1.8 (one of the last OS/2

Hi,
at our installation we ara having some conectivity problems.
We have two sites (S1 and S2), with two z10 EC (z/OS 1.11) each, connected
via FICON cascading.
When some system in S1 writes in tape or disc at S2 we get lot of IOS messages:
IOS050I CHANNEL DETECTED ERROR ON
Is it only when certain data is sent?
I seem to remember a series of errors that was data dependent. The
equipment was not supposed to look at the data, but it was and was producing
errors... but only for one particular data set.

This is a short description of a weird issue with two sites.
There was a bug in the ASIC programming in the DWDM that calculated the CRC
for a block of data. We had a very odd block in an image - a long run of
zero-bits, I think - that caused an invalid CRC to be generated. It was a
solid error.

I'm confused by your example. Are you expecting that there is some kind of
predefined FALSE symbol you can use. I'm not aware of that. I think what
