I’ve been following this post and regarding 3390 mod 3’s, the bank I was working for has an EMC whatever box and I know it has a bunch of storage.
Your can divide this storage up in any format you like 3’s 24’s, what not. Why the operate with mod 3’s is beyond me it cause more problems then it solves. Running out of space is a constant issue and could be solve by just creating storage pools for a bunch of mod 3’s but they just won’t do it. --- On Sat, 5/30/09, Chris Craddock <crashlu...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: Chris Craddock <crashlu...@gmail.com> > Subject: Re: SMP/E packaging of maintence / products (was: FMID descriptions) > To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu > Date: Saturday, May 30, 2009, 3:00 PM > On Sat, May 30, 2009 at 8:51 AM, John > McKown <joa...@swbell.net> > wrote: > > > A good idea.
