My 2 cents:
1. PTF, aka service. Just be current, all required PTFs are quite old.
If you really want to apply only part of applicable PTFs then use
Fixcat, or 2817DEVICE.
Caution! If you're going to use crypto cards, then receive ICSFnnnn
(nnnn- numerical part of your ICSF FMID).
2. FICON CRC. Nobody mentioned it here. IBM recently changed FICON
protocol details. Result: older control units will NOT work with z196.
What's funny, IBM cannot (doesn't want?) provide details, even list of
IBM-branded compatible/incompatible CUs.
3. Again FICON 8Gbps. z196 have only 8G FICONs, such channel will NOT
connect directly to 1Gbps device. Circumvention: you can connect such
device to a switch (via 1,2,4 Gbps SFP) and the channel to the switch
also (via 2,4,8 Gbps SFP).
4. HMC no longer use DVD-RAM for backups and other purposes. Now the
only supported option is pendrive. Buy few pendrives, 4GB capacity is
enough => you can buy really chip ones.
