--------------------------<snip>------------------------- I heard some IBM'ers in the past say any more than one system in a GRS Ring is too many..... Ours runs great wih 3 Lpars though. i was under the impression that the whole thing would be slowed down by the Lpar with the least number of Mips but our Sysprog one is like 13 Mips or something and the whole thing flies.... and yes we do run DB2....... ---------------------------<unsnip>------------------------
I ran GRS in a 4-system ring using only ESCON CTC connections and never experienced any performance problems, but I was not running DB2. YMMV The most difficult part that I found was defining the ESCON CTC devices, and the related types of connections, in the IOCDS. Several Sundays shot in trial-and-error attempts, since "local talent" was fairly inexperienced at that time. I defined strings of 16 devices for each LPAR so my "Communications Kiddies" could have lots of connections if they wanted them. --- [This E-mail has been scanned for viruses by the YourNet Connection Virus system] [For more information, please go to http://www.ync.net/YourMAIL] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
