EMC Dasd Question - A little OT

2006-11-27 Thread Lizette Koehler
I am looking to see if anyone is using the EMC DMX3000 box for the mainframe? If so, are you using AUTOSWAP? Just looking for some input. We are thinking of using it. You can write me offline at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lizette --

Birger, Thank you, I just dowloaded performance report (see file gm130702.pdf) from IBM website. However it is not clear for me: Q1: Is it just card improvement or nominal speed is also improved ? I mean 4Gbps vs 2Gbps. I gues it's not changed. Q2: What devices are capable to use the higher spe

Andy, What kind of chpids do you have and what kind of cards are in the EMC boxes (or that you can get to put in them)? Then, how are your tape drives attached? ESCON is slower than FICON is slower than FICON Express is slower than FICON Express 2. The limiting factor is the speed of the slowes

We are moving a datacenter to ours. We have a question does anyone know the transfer rates for a DMX2000 or DMX3000? We want to dump a dmx box to ibm 3590 drives. We currently don't have EMC dasd attached to our mainframe to get a bench work. Thanks Andy S White Internet: Mailto:[EMAIL PROTEC
