Re: EMC XtremIO devices

[Lizette Koehler]

I would think that EMC could supply the answer.
It is a different type of dasd

http://www.emc.com/storage/xtremio/overview.htm

Transform your applications with XtremIO, the leading all-flash array with
scale-out and inline all-the-time data services.

Do you have some specific questions you are looking to have answered?  This may

IE has always been slow for downloads.  So it is the browser in this case.

I am not sure if you can get Mozilla installed, but that would be a better
option.  It is a no cost product.  Then you got get DOWNTHEMALL and have a

Re: Mainframe vs x86 analysis

[Lizette Koehler]

One area I would include would be SLAs and how quickly for recovery in a DR
or OR (Operational Recovery) situation.  As well as type of tasks (web,
BYOD, B2B, etc).  Your decisions should be around your company environment.


If it is okay for a task to complete in Days then either  platform works.

If you need speed and the ability to handle large amounts of data in a short
time (hours) then you may need to look more at one platform than the other.

So, to me a recommendation would need to include a section that states

In this shop the following requirements

NEED TO BE MET
SHOULD BE MET
COULD BE MET

And then work the rest of the document around those sections.

You may also, if you have not done so, join the IBM MAIN list for a more
z/OS Mainframe opinions.

In my mind, any decision for a platform needs to include what you want to
occur when you implement it.

Just my opinion.

 Subject: Mainframe vs x86 analysis

 Hello Everyone,

 Firstly, I just want to say that I'm new to this list and have been
impressed with the
 great information I've seen from the list so far.
 My employer is trying to establish if they should continue to invest in
mainframe
 technology or migrate to a virtualized x86 platform (virtual servers
running Linux).
 I've been tasked with creating an objective report.
 We currently have IBM zEnterprise and zSeries  mainframe computer servers
 running z/OS, z/VM and Linux for System Z operating systems, in either a
Parallel
 Sysplex, Data Sharing environment, configured for data sharing in a
Parallel
 Sysplex configuration, or in a Monoplex configuration; the complete
environment
 consists of separate z/OS Logical Partitions (LPARs) and separate z/VM
Logical
 partitions (as the virtualization hypervisor for Linux on System Z) I
would appreciate
 any information you could provide that pertains to the areas below or if
you know of
 any studies, etc. that have been done.

 The Mainframe Recommendation Report is expected to contain:

-

   Industry Trends and Best Practices of Mainframe vs. MidRange
Platforms
   -

   Mainframe Case Studies
   -

   Workload and Application Profile Fit for Mainframe vs. MidRange
   Platforms
   -

   Further Comparison of Mainframe vs. MidRange Platforms


-

  Software Licensing Considerations
  -

  Power Consumption
  -

  Security Considerations
  -

  HA/DR Considerations
  -

  Skills and HR Considerations
  -

  Service Management Considerations


-

  Total Cost of Ownership in GC Context:  Overall and for Specific
  Use Cases
  -

   Recommended Mainframe Use Cases for the Government of Canada
   -

  Must explain how the Recommended Mainframe Use Cases take into
  consideration the factors listed above (Trends and Best
Practices, Profile
  Fit, SW Licensing, Power, Security, HA/DR, Skills/HR, Service
Management,
  Costs/TCO)
  -

   Thanks in advance!

Re: Window question

[Lizette Koehler]

If pure windows, then I use DIR /n/w/p
That will sort the list, and pause at the end of each page rather than just
scrolling widely.


DIR [drive:][path][filename] [/A[[:]attributes]] [/B] [/C] [/D] [/L] [/N]
  [/O[[:]sortorder]] [/P] [/Q] [/R] [/S] [/T[[:]timefield]] [/W] [/X] [/4]

  [drive:][path][filename]
  Specifies drive, directory, and/or files to list.

  /A  Displays files with specified attributes.
  attributes   D  DirectoriesR  Read-only files
   H  Hidden files   A  Files ready for archiving
   S  System files   I  Not content indexed files
   L  Reparse Points -  Prefix meaning not
  /B  Uses bare format (no heading information or summary).
  /C  Display the thousand separator in file sizes.  This is the
  default.  Use /-C to disable display of separator.
  /D  Same as wide but files are list sorted by column.
  /L  Uses lowercase.
  /N  New long list format where filenames are on the far right.
  /O  List by files in sorted order.
  sortorderN  By name (alphabetic)   S  By size (smallest first)
   E  By extension (alphabetic)  D  By date/time (oldest first)
   G  Group directories first-  Prefix to reverse order

  It means that the z/OS client initiated the mount request on outgoing

  called 'secure ports and anything else is referred to as
  unprivileged or insecure ports.  Some NFS server implementations
  don't like mount requests coming in on unprivileged ports, since it
  means that some process that might not be running as root has done that.
 
  I don't recall if the z/OS NFS client can be made to only make
  requests on secure ports or not.  If not, then you'll have to tell
  your NFS server to accept requests on unprivileged ports.
