I was almost called a liar when I told the Windows people that the z simply switch the work transparently (on the hardware level) to another CP. They were shocked and amazed that we could "hot swap" a new TCM into the box without any outage. The same thing when an OSA failed. The other OSA simply did an "ARP rollover" and there were not any outages. And that, again, IBM replaced the OSA "hot" and we simply started using it. All automatically. But the Windows people still chant "Windows is BETTER than the mainframe." > > > -- > Shmuel (Seymour J.)
