I'd like to pull this discussion back up to the jet stream level. We face the prospect of having to IPL z/OS just to relieve an ASM shortage. Weenie-ware servers seem to run forever without this encumbrance. We put our highest-value mission-critical applications on a platform that cannot keep its own shorts tidy. Enough already. Even if IBM gave us memory for free, we would still have endure interruptions to get it installed. And how much is sufficient? How many interruptions? Throwing more hardware at a software deficiency is not a solution.
I'm afraid that some MBA PFK will propose running the whole shebang on *nix. Then where will we (all) end up? . .

Thanks, Tony. And BTW, Kees, I should have said "I don't understand" rather than "It makes no sense to me." Subtle difference, perhaps. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
