Same here - We tried the integrated route and then separated again. Management philosophies are too different between the stacks.

I got called very early one morning due to a bunch of channel errors. At the data center where I worked, fiber switches were not owned by our group. The brainiacs who did own responsibility for the switch decided to take half of one down for some sort of change / maintenance and didn't bother to tell anyone who had equipment connected to it. Needless to say, no mainframer after that wanted to configure tape or DASD through those switches. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ________________________________ Warning: All e-mail sent to this address will be received by the corporate e-mail system, and is subject to archival and review by someone other than the recipient.
