Re: GRS setup for MONOPLEX to SYSPLEX
what else would you expect to see in the FICON CTC reference guide :) You need to look at the technical guide for the specific hardware box that you want to implement on. I think that starting with the z13 that they allowed. There may have been some other methods previous to the z13, but this was the first that I came aware of something other than CF's and FC-CTCs. PSIFB - Parallel Sysplex InfiniBand ICA - Integrated Coupling Adapter IC - Internal Coupling link and then also FC-CTC which we already discussed.

Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: z/OSMF
Interesting! Maybe IBM will think about adding logic so a required process such as this can be boosted permanently, without affecting anything else running. Related: I was surprised a couple of weeks ago when the owner of a particular ISV product said their program can run on a zIIP. I said how do you manage that? Answer: We asked IBM for it. I'll guess you know all about this (as an ISV) but I didn't know it was even possible.

Rex -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Brian Westerman Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2023 11:46 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: z/OSMF After a couple years of use, I feel I'm pretty safe saying that, to me, z/OSMF appears to be a poorly designed and very badly programmed product. Most vendors would have ditched the product and stopped promoting it by now, but IBM probably has grand "plans" that won't really come into fruition until sometime around 2030 for z/OSMF. As you all know, the z/OSMF product is the ONLY way to install z/OS, (without using COS), and the product doesn't even run in a usable way on their smallest, (but still supported and sold) processors. So some poor site that buys into a z/15 T02 or z/16 A01 with a single CPU can barely even get the product up let alone have more than one user, and even that user (the systems programmer doing the install) has abysmal response time. I have pointed the problem out to IBM (multiple times), and have gone through the entire process of "proving" the issue(s) several times showing the issues in detail, only to be pointed to a manual that states that you "should" have a minimum of a 400MIP processor complex to use z/OSMF, (because that's what they use(d) for testing). The next problem I already see happening is that they are throwing a bunch of new "features" and add-ons into it, and some of them would be great products on their own, but are being hobbled by the (IMO) poorly designed product. I still can't believe that the same company that proudly states that we can still run code developed in the 1960's on the z/16 seems to care less about the fact that their installation vehicle doesn't support their own small end processors that you need the z/OSMF installation vehicle to install the OS with. Any other vendor would be laughed out of town. One of the sites we support (a z13s, no zIIP, single CPU) can't even install the updates from Broadcom via the "normal" method because using the Java interface times out before authentication. The solution from Broadcom (until IBM can fix their issue) is that they build a special delivery package for the site to use. That's just sad, and what was IBM's response after 7 months of "looking into" the problem? "The site could use a faster processor or the vendor should increase the authentication time limit." Neither of those is a possible solution in this case. Very sad and poorly played on IBM's part. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN -- The information contained in this message is confidential, protected from disclosure and may be legally privileged.
