Re: FW: Do we have to defrag MVS volumes on newer generation disk arrays?

Ron, Obviously my suggestion has to take into consideration what else is going on in one's shop. I wouldn't exactly recommend this for shops doing data movement either (as we are). I cannot remember the last time I saw a DEFRAG here. We also have DTS Software in house. Works fine, lasts a long tim

No reason why it should not work. There are some FTP clients that are more mainframe friendly. One is called Seagull FTP and can be downloaded from http://www.seagullsoftware.com/ Gadi -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pradee

FTP from a Windows PC to Mainframe server

Hi All, I tried to FTP from my Windows PC to Mainframe with the help of command prompt. It did work. Could any one suggest my if the FTP from a PC to a Mainframe sequential file is possible with 'Wise FTP' or any other such FTP software. DISCLAIMER: This email (including any atta

Re: LX and ASN reuse

CVTALRS indicates that z/OS support for ASN-and-LX reuse is present. This means, among other things, that you can use such things as the "LXSIZE" operand of LXRES. This bit is on for all still-supported z/OS releases (i.e., z/OS 1.6 and follow-on). CVTALR indicates that the architecture is enabled

Re: FW: Do we have to defrag MVS volumes on newer generation disk arrays?

Bob, No problems with that. It's a lot better than the mid-afternoon religious observation to DEFRAG that I have seen in too many sites. At 5 volumes a day some volumes may get their 2nd defrag after 2 or 3 years And the thought of using FCTOPPRCPRIMARY with random DEFRAGS scares my p

Re: FW: Do we have to defrag MVS volumes on newer generation disk arrays?

Ron, I have no arguments with what you wrote except "I" probably would add five DEFRAGs to it. One defrag of one volume per storage group per day or per week. I would defrag the volume with the largest frag index. No harm, no foul there and it may just handle one of those monthly space abends. Ca

Re: FW: Do we have to defrag MVS volumes on newer generation disk arrays?

Greg, Most of what I have done in the past centred on aggressive use of space recovery software. I used ACC/SRS, but the same or similar can be achieved with Stop-X37 (whatever it is called now) and SMS. I've run development systems with average 4% free space this way. 1) Fewer and Larger Storage
