  What the announcement actually says:

  So, as it says, the support planned in z/OS V1.10 is for 
 VSAM data in the
  extended area (except for the kinds of VSAM exempted in the next 
  sentence), and everything else in the non extended area.
 
 So you are saying that everything else includes PDSE?

And probably DB2 objects, which also live in LDSes.

To try to be clear: LDSes are VSAM, and thus eligible for placement in the
extended area.  DB2 will benefit from EAV, as will zFS (both are mentioned
in the preview announcement).

PDSEs are not VSAM, and are not eligible for placement in the extended area
in z/OS R10.

I'm curious about future enhancements. As I understood the letter, VSAM 
datasets are for beginning (as 223GB vol. size).


IMHO we can expect in the future ext fmt PS and PDSE in the upper 
area. Of course only IBMers know (and won't disclose).

Radoslaw,
The way I read this is that in z/OS 1.10, support will be limited to only
the specified dataset types.  As for what may happen in the future, nothing
is guaranteed, however, at the same time, nothing has been publicly ruled
out.

What the announcement actually says:
quote
In z/OS V1.10, support is planned for SMS and non-SMS managed VSAM data sets
(ESDS, KSDS, RRDS, and LDS) at any location on an extended address volume.
Non-VSAM data sets, catalogs, page data sets, and VSAM data sets with the
KEYRANGE
or IMBED attribute are restricted to the first 65,520 cylinders.
/quote

So, as it says, the support planned in z/OS V1.10 is for VSAM data in the
extended area (except for the kinds of VSAM exempted in the next sentence),
and everything else in the non extended area.

z/OS 1.10 announcement -DASD size

2008-02-26 Thread McKown, John
From the web page that I previously posted about z/OS 1.10

quote
Architectural limit of hundreds of TB for DASD volumes, up from the
current limit of approximately 54 GB per volume. Called Extended Address
Volume (EAV), this function is planned to initially support 223 GB per
volume on z/OS V1.10 and IBM System Storage DS8000, when available. 
...
Exploiting the capabilities of a new 3390 device model on IBM System
Storage DS8000 storage subsystems, EAV is designed to provide: 
A new architectural limit of hundreds of TB per volume, up from the
current limit of approximately 54 GB per volume (65,520 cylinders). z/OS
V1.10 will support a maximum volume size of 223 GB (262,668 cylinders
per volume). 
Fully compatible access to data residing on cylinders below 65,520.
Also, the existing 3390 device geometry (the track length and number of
tracks per cylinder) is maintained on EAV. 
In z/OS V1.10, support is planned for SMS and non-SMS managed VSAM data
sets (ESDS, KSDS, RRDS, and LDS) at any location on an extended address
volume. Non-VSAM data sets, catalogs, page data sets, and VSAM data sets
with the KEYRANGE or IMBED attribute are restricted to the first 65,520
cylinders. With this initial support, space after the first 65,520
cylinders is intended to provide constraint relief for applications
using large VSAM data sets, such as those used by DB2, CICS(r), zFS file
systems, SMP/E CSI data sets, and NFS mounted data sets. 
A new dynamic volume expansion function designed to eliminate the need
to copy volumes to increase their size. 
This new function is expected to provide substantial, immediate
constraint relief for installations with a large number of large VSAM
data sets. This is also expected to help improve storage management
administration over time, as a relatively small number of large volumes
are thought to be simpler to manage than a larger number of smaller
ones. IBM recommends the IBM HyperPAV licensed function on the IBM
System Storage DS8000 series be leveraged to help manage the number of
paths to devices defined as EAV. 

In the future, IBM intends to expand support for EAV with larger volume
sizes and support for additional data set types and access methods. For
more information, refer to the Statement of direction section
