We are considering upgrading our DASD to IBM's DS6000. Our current

upgrade to FICON. (Host system is a z900)
Everything I've seen points to significantly better performance, higher
reliability and improved management. However, I'd like to verify with
installations who are actually using the DS6000. I'm particularly
interested in comments about performance, and any issues to watch for in
implementation.
Performance should be much better, no doubt.
However DS6000 series had serious problems when first boxes were sold to
customers. I was told that many of them got DS8000 at no cost as a fix.
Pay attention to have PTFs for DS6000 support. Without it you won't be
able to define it in native mode. Native means D/T1750, emulated mode is
D/T2105.
