Hello z/OS experts,
I need the maximum numbers of z/OS V2.1 devices per Control Unit, FICON

I tried to read in z/OS V2.1 and z13s books, but the information is

Hi
We are looking at upgrading to z/OS 2.3 next year and are wondering what the
minimum hardware requirement is. I thought I saw somewhere that it requires a
BC12 as minimum, is that correct? 2.2 support goes right down to a z10 so that
is quite a leap.
Regards and thanks

As far as I know, you can only define 256 device per control unit.

Hello,
since a while we're using the new PARMDD keyword for our DB2 subsystems.
