EMC Clariion and DMX dasd - no support for zseries

2007-05-01 Thread Smith, Ann (ISD, IT)
Just another update on Clariion dasd. Our POC was successful - no issues found with SLES10 and Clariion lun's. However, our EMC rep has informed us that: We can not get the RPQ approved for zLinux on CLARiiON. EMC engineering is only conditionally approving provisioning for zLinux on DMX

Since we are currently trying to get multipathing working with FCP and SLES9 (SLES8 was easier but different) it does make us well aware of how we take it for granted when we use good old easy ECKD (not that ours is very old- ECKD is still always improving). I would add to the list of ECKD

Maybe if this occurs again you should terminate Teamquest while memory usage is high and then check if the memory usage starts going back down. At least you can maybe see (1) if usage still goes up the memory problem or leak is due to the application that's running or (2) if usage goes down maybe
