I found, years ago, that 5 systems was the effective maximum number of systems that could perform in a MASPLEX/SYSPLEX. I recommend that, if you have that many, or more that you consider putting it into a CF. I was going to do that, 3 years ago, then they downsized me and nobody picked it up after that. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
