Hi In a linux environment you could use tools like ping and traceroute. You would see, if your target is reachable and how fast the connection is (latency between nodes). The availability (and names) of such (basic) tools depend on your operating system. e.g. some z/OS info: https://www.ibm.com/

There is, or used to be, a common service used by VSAM and other components for data with CI-like formatting, including PDSE. If it still exists then I assume that it is also used for HFS. My prime concern was HFS and zFS, and I don't know whether SPEED/RECOVERY applies to linear, which zFS is b

Unless I'm totally off the mark here, why not go through this process (or something like it) and see for yourself. 1) Use an empty 3390 volume. 2) Allocate a single PS dataset that takes up the entire volume. 3) Use IEBDG to write a known value to each block in the dataset. 4) Delete the dataset.

Thanks, Radoslaw. My point, and I think you have also confirmed it, is that an SMS environment has no specific dependence on a parallel sysplex, CFs, couple datasets, etc. All that is left for me is to finish building the system and IPL it. Bob -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe D
