If you issue the command HELP HCP6289I, it seems to imply that there is a control unit indicator of 'maintenance mode'. Call the CE and ask if that is a possibility. On 04/01/2010 06:43 AM, Frank M. Ramaekers wrote: These are 3590s, what is maintenance mode on these drives? Frank M.

Re: How to define shareabel full-pack minidisk in user directory

2010-04-01 Thread Martha McConaghy
The simple answer to your question is that the volume is not attached to the system. So, when the guest tries to link the minidisk, there is no real volume for it to contact. It looks like the deeper problem is understanding how volumes work. Let me try to explain. What you refer to as the

I hope someone can confirm for me the difference between OSA2 and OSA3. Next week I will be receiving a z10 to replace a z9. For the sake of simplicity lets say I had 1 OSA2. That would be 2 ports or 2 CHPIDs. On those CHPIDs I have 3 addresses each CHPID 1 100-103 - CHPID 2 200-203. Each

This is a bit unrelated to your questions but one major difference between the OSA2 and OSA3 100-Base-T card is that if you define a port on the OSA3 as an OSC channel for use as an OSA-ICC, then the second port on the card is disabled and will not be used as an OSD or OSE type device. Basically,
