We’ve switched to using the TS7720 as a stand-alone VTS and are planning an outage this weekend for microcode upgrade.
In the old days, for an outage we had to: 1. Vary the libraries offline 2. Vary the drives offline 3. Vary the chanel paths offline 4. When varying the final drives off line, we had to use Force because they were the last attached devices. Looking over the Planning and Intro book and the Virtual Engine book (SG24-7712-02) it appears the same procedures are needed for today’s VTS. Is there anything else that is required or something else to watch for with today’s TS7700? David G.
