The idiocy in this article is truly astounding. I have been in this
industry for 50 years. I have never seen anything like the following:
House Technology and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Del. Daniel
Linville, R-Cabell, said that two mainframe parts failed at the same
time.
“The parts were not available for the both of them here in town,”
Linville said. “Because of that very unfortunate set of circumstances,
multiple parts had to be ordered, and get here as quickly as possible.”
.
.
.
Linville said as of Thursday morning at 10 a.m.,the parts were in, but
functionality had not yet been restored and the manufacturer had to
recode the system.
So let me get this straight: Parts fail, you replace them, then recode
the system?
I am at a loss as to exactly what Mainframe works like this. IBM is
making the only true business mainframe, and I have been there for loads
of parts replacements, and I have NEVER had to "recode" the system
afterward.
I wonder what credentials Mr. Linville brings to the table to make these
pronouncements.
But Larry Linville was Maj. Frank Burns, and no one in the 4077th except
Hot Lips was impressed with his knowledge or skill....
Just sayin'....

When one part goes down, all you get is a message. You don't get an
outage until enough parts go down and the devices stops working
(enough raid volumes to not rebuild blocks, all communications
channels).

Seems 2 parts failed and it happened last week.
