Peter: Hopefully you would not need to. However, since enabling SMT requires you to re-IPL z/OS, it is nice to be able to switch from SMT-2 to SMT-1, if you are having performance issues, without a re-IPL. I have seen very good results from SMT-2 in my customers, but there could always be that

Re: z/OS equivalent to z/VM's Link Aggregation

2022-12-09 Thread Jim Elliott
Thanks for all the responses. I should have explained what z/VM Link Aggregation is. This is not about sharing an OSA port between multiple LPARs (that is easy). With a z/VM vswitch you can connect up to 8 OSA ports to a single vswitch. Turns out there is no direct equivalent in z/OS, you use

Not only is z/OS 1.13 not supported in the same sysplex with z/OS 2.3, I am pretty sure it won’t work. Every release has sysplex changes which often (always?) require PTFs to the prior 2 releases to participate in the same sysplex. Even if no PTFs are required, I suspect z/OS checks to see the
