I doupt we have device queuing on CP-owned volumes. Minidisks? Is there anything other than minidisks?
Everything is on minidisks or full pack minus one cylinder minidisks. Just wait until you have some idiot (me) relabel VSE packs which happen to cover cylinder 0 and then months later, IPL VM and things just don't work right. You get called in at 2am to figure out what happened. What do you mean the packs are gone! Did we have a head crash? Wasting a cylinder a pack is a small price to pay for less trouble calls. And with minidisks, you have the option of MDC. Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting Are folks getting excessive device queuing on CP-owned volumes in their production environments? From what I read here, it seems like relatively few people put Linux data on minidisks, preferring (for a variety of reasons) to use fullpack minidisks or volumes carved to size. And our paging rates (without PAV) are nothing to sneeze at. I'm not arguing against PAV, but I'm curious whether the benefit of PAV for CP-owned volumes would be real or just wishful thinking.
