When did IBM become so closed (kinder word than I was going to use)?

I went out looking for firmware updates for my IBM 3592E06 drives that live in my IBM 3583 Library. I realized I needed to go to Fix Central from the last time I went looking (a year ago) and couldn't find them on the FTP site. What I wasn't expecting is the need for my tape drive serial numbers

I don't know if it's documented anywhere but that hit us as well. That, and our datamovers aren't purging the c:\windows\temp directory after a backup operation. Ah, the joys of being on the bleeding edge. Matthew McGeary Technical Specialist PotashCorp - Saskatoon 306.933.8921 From: "Gee,

I think will be better you make a PMR to IBM to give you a best answer at your case. regards 2014-06-09 9:45 GMT-05:00 Matthew McGeary : > I don't know if it's documented anywhere but that hit us as well. That, > and our datamovers aren't purging the c:\windows\temp directory after a > backu

I don't know, but it's probably within the past 6 months. HP started the same campaign on 1-Jan-2014. It's a ridiculous - you pay for the hardware, and expect to be able to keep at least the firmware up-to-date. Best regards, Mike, x7942 RMD IT Client Services On Mon, Jun 9, 2014 at 10:40 AM,

This is exactly what we experienced when Oracle bought Sun. Except we /did/ have support contracts for all our hardware, but Oracle kept "losing" them. It took us almost two years to get it all straightened out. On Mon, Jun 09, 2014 at 10:40:23AM -0400, Zoltan Forray wrote: > > I went out looking

Hi. That has been like that for years. X-servers, p-servers, storage systems, etc. need to be on at least NBD IBM hardware support to get firmware code. My boss has not been happy with IBM hardware support when IBM made the change a few years ago. So, we placed most of our IBM ha

Same here. We were a mostly SUN shop (for the big, critical applications - for everything else there are Windows servers) until Oracle bought them and screwed us. Since then, we have been phasing out ALL SUN hardware and software. Now it is mostly big Dell servers running RedHat Linux. On Mon,

Hi, Skylar. Have you tried setting your MOUNTWAIT to 0 or 1? It seems to me that should allow the operator request to time out and your processing to continue. On 6/3/2014 2:12 PM, Skylar Thompson wrote: We've been suffering with the effects of this APAR for a while, which IBM fixed as a docu

Is the client Windows? If so, you should have been using the DIRMC technique to back up Windows directory objects to an online storage pool. But, now that you are restoring, it's too late for that. Halt the restore, and run MOVE NODEDATA to an online DISK or FILE storage pool. It can be a temporar
