Hello
Has anyone migrated from DS8886 to DS8910F.
Yes.
How did you migrate when your current connectivity to DS box is direct from
mainframe instead of switch based?
It is irrelevant. Of course you need free FICON channels in your CPC.
Alternatively you can reduce number of channels for DS8886 and use them
for DS8910F.
Details depend on ...details of your configuration, workload, etc.
Is it possible to migrate to new storage box without downtime ?
Yes and no. Again, it depends. It depends on your requirements regarding
remote copy consistency, possible short service windows, budget for
add-on software like TDMF, human effort and skills, etc.
Note, such migration is usually great opportunity for changes in volume
sizing, ICF catalog locations, etc. A lot of possible changes which
could make the migration more complex, but it's worth the effort.
