MFNetDisk 25-30% dramatic improvement in performance and CPU utilization.
HI, I am happy to announce that I made the performance of MFNetDisk much much better compared to what it was before. Using the emulation (tapes and disks), I saw that MFNetDisk runs better 25-30% in the IO production and reduction of CPU utilization. Even the replication using the transfer tracks from MF to PC I saw big improvement. I send this email to IBM_MAIN and to MFNetDisk users list as BCC to inform them about the improvement. I know that many users did not like the performance of MFNetDisk in the past. I expect that many of them will respect what they will see with the new MFNetDisk code and of course will let me know the numbers. I expect very much from MFNetDisk users list to test the improvement in their sites, and to let me know the exact results on their MF HW. You can download my new code from my site using the CODE_REQ.

Re: Copying tapes with 256K blocksizes
Fred, First, to make sure I understand what you are looking for; is the tape file you want to copy already at 256K or do you want to re-block an existing tape-file up to 256K? The reason is that some tape copy utilities (CA Copycat for example) can support files with an existing 256K blocksize; but cannot re-block a file. Also, which tape management system do you currently use? If you have CA 1 or CA TLMS; then there is CA Copycat. If you have IBM's DFSMSrmm, there is Tivolie Tape Optimizer. And there are other options (Innovations FATSCOPY and OpenTech's TAPECOPY that can work on almost all tape management systems). Of course, all of these are licensed products. If you want to do this yourself, without getting a new licensed product; then IEBGENER works fine and supports 256K blocksizes. And of course, both ICEGENER (for DFSort users) and SYNCGENR (for SYNCSORT users) are also available and can copy much faster than IEBGENER. But, none of these options will automatically re-catalog the file to the new volume or (optionally) update the Tape Management system to maintain the original creation date/time/jobname. But, I am not sure that is important to you or not.
