Correct. I copied the article from the NYT & then reposted the paragraph in the article which discussed the study.  Heh - I don't think those are rankings - just (former) links from the article in whatever publication Bill copied from. > >    ... > >The largest cloud data centers, sometimes

To be honest I did. In the past I used each id different, however naming convention allowed easily guess remaining names. Example sysname = HRET, HREV, HREM, etc. multiple systems, not sysplexed SMF ID = RET1, REV1, REM1, etc. NJE node = NRET, NREV, NREM, etc. sysplex = HRETPLEX or HRET - that

oh.. on that I agree. I have always thought that it was silly to have a sysname that didn't match or in some cases is related to in any way the SMFID... but I see it alot. I would love a reason from someone that kept sysname <> smfid. Rob On Sat, Feb 11, 2023 at 2:44 PM Radoslaw Skorupka <

As far as I understand the question is "what is the difference between SMF ID and SYSNAME". Or rather "Why on Earth have two identifiers, while there is always 1:1 correlation". I agree, I see no reason to have SMF ID and sysname independent. Among meny identifiers I can explain the purpose of

This is just a reflex, but that's VERY unlikely. Such predictions are almost always based on "if this trend continues...". But trends never continue - never. Mind you, sometimes they change for the worse. But 27% doesn't sound plausible. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336

Having looked at data from a whole lot of customer systems, I can say that SMFID and SYSNAME are often (but not always) the same. LPARNAME is very often different, although I appreciate it when there's at least some sort of visual link between it and SMFID/SYSNAME. E.G. SYSA and C1SYSA vs SYSA
