Re: JES2 $DEBUPD macro

2012-01-04 Thread Steve Mann
Have you found out anything more regarding the $DEBUPD macro?  We are just 
starting our z/OS 1.13 upgrade and have a 3rd party software exit that also 
uses $DEBUPD (still waiting to hear back from the vendor).

z/OS non-sms dasd allocation algorithm ?

2010-09-13 Thread Steve Mann
Does anyone know how a dasd volume is selected for a new non-sms dataset 
allocation when using the UNIT parm?  Is it  just the first volume in the UNIT 
group that satisfies the space request or is some other algorithm used?  
Anyone know if this is documented anywhere (IBM manual)?  z/OS 1.9

Re: PK67193 and z/OS 1.9

2008-12-04 Thread Steve Mann
I'm running z/OS 1.9 with the fixing PTF (UK38942) for PK67193 and it does 
not fix the problem with Filezilla and directory listings. 

I was told by IBM support that setting up FTP to use PAGENT (Policy agent) 
AT-TLS instead of it's own TLS support would fix the problem.  Has anyone 
done this?  Does it fix the problem with Filezilla?

Re: PK67193 and z/OS 1.9

2008-12-04 Thread Steve Mann
I got PAGENT running for AT-TLS on a test LPAR (z/OS 1.9).  It works OK with 
other FTP clients I tried (Core, Bluezone, MoveItFreely, FileZilla 2) but 
doesn't 
work for any of the FileZilla 3 client versions I tried, including version 
3.0.11.1 
which worked before with the z/OS FTP server using it's own TLS support.

2105-800 vs. DS6800

2008-04-01 Thread Steve Mann
We are looking at replacing a 2105-800 (6 72.8GB 10K 8-packs, 8GB cache, 16 
ESCON channels) with a DS6800 (32 146GB 15K drives, 4GB cache, 4 FICON 
channels) and also adding Metro Mirror to a second DS6800. This is mainframe 
(CKD) storage only running under z/OS on a z800 (2066-0x2).   Has anyone 
done something similar?  Did you have any problems with the install/migration?  
How does performance of the DS6800 compare to the 2105-800?  How does 
full volume FLASHCOPY compare (48 volumes at a time)?  Was there any 
impact (good or bad) on CPU utilization?  So far, vendor references we have 
been given have been for sites using the DS6800 for open systems storage 
only.  Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
