9840 error code

2011-07-13 Thread Nigel Salway 
Can anyone point me to an online resource for 9840 error codes? We have a drive 
that won't connect and it shows 2C11:Dmp1 in the display. 
 
TIA

Cobe, 

The best documentation on 2105-800 performance I found was the redbook 
SG24-6422-00.

Kevin, 

 

Thanks for your feedback. 

 

In my case, we are already running FICON with the Shark, so we shouldn't see a 
change in performance there. 

 

Is the in-rack laptop a feature be ordered with the DS6800, or is it a matter 
of buying any compatible laptop and rack mounting it? Can you clarify? 

 

I will check on Flashcopy 2 availability, although we only use flashcopy at the 
volume level. 

 

Sincerely, 

 

Nigel Salway

 Nigel, 
 
 Converted from a Hitachi unit emulating a ESS 2105 to a DS6800 using
 FDRPAS and FLASHCOPY in 1 day, (10 TB), It was awhile back but there
 were no problems or issues. Except it didn't support Flashcopy 2 at the
 time (Dataset level) 
 
 Since the DS6800 was rack mounted, I should have opted for the in rack
 LAPTOP, Instead of table to support my monitor and keyboard only. 
 
 Oh yea. We went from ESCOM to FICON...so great for performance. 
 
 Kevin

 I am looking at migrating from an ESS 2105-800 shark to a used DS6800
 1750-522. 
 
 I am curious to learn if anyone has done a similar conversion and can
 comment on the relative performance of the two storage subsystems. The
 IBM redbook SG24-6781-02 says the DS6800 will out-perform the 2105-800
 shark in most zOS implementations. 
 
 I am also interested in hearing from someone who has installed a used
 DS6800 and if they had any issues installing and setting up the DS
 Storage Manager software. 
 
 TIA

End of service for 3490-A20 and 3490-B40

2010-02-11 Thread Nigel Salway 
Dear Friends, 

 

I have been looking for the end of service dates for the 3490-A20 and 3490-B40 
in the announcment archive at http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/ 

 

I haven't found any reference to these devices in the announcment letters which 
suggests to me there has been no announcement of end of service for these 
devices. 

 

As a check on my work, can I confirm with others on the list that I am both 
searching in the correct spot for this info and that finding nothing, there is 
no announced EOS for these devices. 

 

Cheers, 

 

Nigel Salway

 

P.S. Thanks to everyone who sent me suggestions for software capable of 
outputting to PDF and then emailing. Your insight was invaluable to me.

Output to pdf from JES2

2010-01-29 Thread Nigel Salway 
Everyone, 

 

Has anyone used a product which can convert a JES2 output to a PDF, then email 
the PDF as an attachment. 

 

This function is available in the zVSE CSI TCPIP stack, and I would like to 
find a similar function in zOS. 

 

TIA

 

Nigel
