>My shop is now the proud owner of a HDS 9990V. We are however novices in the >use of TDMF which the vendor has proposed as the transfer agent between our >old and new DASD. Most of the time, the vendor includes conversion as part of the acquisition. If he didn't, or you negotiated it out, you're SOL. TDMF skills are rarely required more than once every three or four years. So, it's not economical to build the skill-set in-house.
>Can anyone point me to TDMF documentation? The product has moved from vendor to vendor over the last 3-4 years. But, if you can find it, the web-site is best. Although, iirc, you have to be a customer to access the doc. >Has anyone run into any issues using TDMF on live data? NO. It's a very mature product. >Any issues with HSM ML1 volumes, > DB2, > M204 > volumes containing user catalogs > volumes containing master cats > Jes2 Spool No. And, you can include pagepacks, etc. We last used it two years ago, transfering 11.2 TB of data, all live -- no outages. >Any advice, comments will be most appreciated. Get a specialist. Either through your vendor, or an external consultant. - 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
