We are on the third EMC RAID array since SLED days. First one with PAV. Looking at 4th array next year.
We've always migrated to like size volumes and added on to the end. Added some mod 9's from 1 to 2 and mod 27's from 2 to 3. Mostly for System work. Mod 3's have always been fine for application files and Adabas. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] > On Behalf Of Clark Morris > Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2016 2:24 PM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: Minimum Volume Sizes in the Wild > > [Default] On 28 Jun 2016 11:31:30 -0700, in bit.listserv.ibm-main > gib...@wsu.edu (Gibney, Dave) wrote: > > >Mostly Mod-3s, some smaller and mostly special uses.
