Hi, I hope you won't mind a storage question.
We're running zOS 2.4 and have a smattering of volume sizes - mod9, mod27, mod54. I'd like to have all mod54's for Db2 and be prepared before going to the storage folks. 1. Is storage virtual nowadays? 2. Can virtual mod9s and mod27s be reconfigured to mod54s? 3. Does the reconfiguration require an IPL? 4. Does the reconfiguration new addressing in IODF? 5. Is the storage vendor (IBM, EMC, etc.) relevant? Does the hardware determine or be a factor in merging the mod9s/mod27s, into mod54s? 6. Is it a given that the volumes must be cleared/emptied before the reconfiguration happens? 7. How long does reconfiguration take? Is there anything else I should consider before taking this request to the storage group? Any information or advice is appreciated. Thank you.
