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.
