Not yet. That announcement is for the gadget that manages IODFs, not for z/OS itself. There's a lot of work that will be necessary to teach z/OS how to play nice in the FCP world -- it's got to understand FBA devices first. It'll be a good long while before IBM can make that happen. >> BTW, this is a great use for a hardware hipersocket. > How many CP load generated by HyperSockets?

Either will work, however I tend to prefer hipersockets for this type of application in that it takes very good advantage of the ability to use 64K MTU sizes efficiently -- file transfers tend to be bulk transfer operations which map better to the hipersocket model. The answer on whether OSA or hipersocket really is a "it depends" question -- both have advantages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
