YMMV! <snip> That would be a "no". We now "live happily together" here again on a VMAX. Once upon a time in Symmetrix land we tried having both on the same box,
but the technology just didn't live up to it's billing. We went to seperate boxes until March of this year, where management saw it fit to drop license and maintenance down to 1 box[1]*. Just after conversion of the mainframe to the VMAX, the existing open systems started complaining of higher I/O times. Our cache hits were in the 80 percentile range IIRC. Once where open systems data had the entire range of cache to feed, a lot would not drop out. Then the big bad mainframe, the black box of rebound, came in and boxed out open systems data that was not referenced quite as often. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
