Right now we are running three monoplexes in a GRS ring with z/OS 1.4. We will implement z/OS 1.7 soon, and I wonder if it makes sense to migrate our HFS file system to zFS. I read that HFS is stabilized, while zFS represents the future. zFS should also have pros as far as the performance is concerned. Is anyone already gone through this and found such migration worthwhile (despite the restriction mentioned by Edward) ? Or should I stick to HFS ?
