IBM Copy service clarification

[Peter]

Hi

I have got a dummy query

When we suspend the replication between H1 and H2 in a metro mirroring and
recover it.

Does that mean both the sites volume are in Standalone ? Means if H2 is
getting updated does it also updates H1 simulateously ?

If you belong to the SHARE MVSE requirements group, you can discuss Tim's
suggestion here:


Mount improvement with multi-volume, multi-unit allocation

[David Spiegel]

Hi Itschak,
Gottfrid Svartholm Warg   (Pirate Bay founder) hacked Logica.
One of the tricks he pulled was to offload the RACF Database to a PC and 
Dictionary Attack it.
The Security Admin folks were inexperienced to say the least.
(This is not to say that relatively secure site with seasoned veterans can't be 
hacked.
They just made it easy.)

Regards,
David

Hi David.
This is the GCG case. Any other known "success stories"?

Wasn’t really a mainframe hack. It was a laptop hack that acquired legitimate 
mainframe credentials.

Re: TS7700 physical tape drive failed

[Jake Anderson]

Now it's resolved by IBM hardware engineer.

The 3592 tape drive went offline after a firmware update and had to restart
the VTL.

Any clue to set an email alert when drives goes offline ?

Re: TS7700 physical tape drive failed

[Mike Schwab]

Timed automation to display status of libraries (once per hour?).
Message automation to react to offline status.

Re: Library Server Being Replaced Clarification

[Matt]

For what it is worth, I too have been interested in being able to point SCL to 
the library server site for a number of years now and I'm befuddled as too why 
this cannot be accomplished.

Accommodating this would be the ideal way for those of us who care about 
accessing those older books to do so.

Didn't the TS7700 produce a CBR* message when the problem in the tape library
