When we moved from a MP3000 with internal disk to a Shark (old, used, F20? I think, fairly small drives anyway) I needed a lot of 3390-3 volumes. Our shark is half full, I think that's 4 drawers, I configured one with 62 3390-3's and 4 1000 cyl "mini" volumes for things like MIM and JES CKPT. I configured the other 3 drawers as 3390-9's or slightly larger, whatever worked out. BUT, with base and alt. addresses, I used all the addresses, at least in the range for the 3390-3's. (that was overkill, but it's fast)
As time passes, I've eliminated a lot of the 3390-3 requirements. What is required to reconfigure some or all of these to 3390-9's? Do I have to do the entire drawer or can I do parts / areas at a time? It looks like each drawer has 2 LCU's in the IODF, for a total of 8. And it's still ESCON, if that matters and connected to a z800 at z/OS 1.4 Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
