We are a z890 with 4 ficon connections to two racks. Each rack has is cross connected to the Ficon connections. I was wondering about how well the actual concurrent update works in the real world. The update indicates that it will drop the first connection, reconnect, drop the second connection and reconnect. Seems I saw on one of these sites that there was some problems with the losing of connections. And I am not sure of a backout plan or if there is an option for backing out. Finally, does anyone have a time frame on how long it takes?
