I was wondering if anyone here could do a little test for me. We have 2 environments. We've noticed that on our z900-escon-EMC DMX2000 DASD, dasdfmt of 10,000 cyl takes an awful long time - 25minutes (doing about 99 i/o sec - perf numbers show high DISC time).
On our z990-ficon-HDS DASD, dasdfmt of 10,000 cyl takes less than 5 minutes and does about 570 i/o sec. I tried this when both system weren't doing much of anything else so no other contention going on. So my questions are - what kind of elapsed times do others see for escon configurations? Any one else using this EMC DMX2000 that could try? I know FICON makes a big diff, but that much?? I need to know if I need to go to EMC and get them to tell me why it's so bad.
