Re: Question on use of LPARNAME, SYSNAME and SMFID

Having looked at data from a whole lot of customer systems, I can say that SMFID and SYSNAME are often (but not always) the same. LPARNAME is very often different, although I appreciate it when there's at least some sort of visual link between it and SMFID/SYSNAME. E.G. SYSA and C1SYSA vs SYSA a

Irish data centers....an opportunity?

Recently the BBC posted an article about how the grow in Irish data centers (or "centres" for the Brits) is causing a possible power crises. See "Can we make the internet less power-thirsty?" (https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64429819). Sounds like a great opportunity for IBM to highlight the s

Re: Irish data centers....an opportunity?

All good questions, Paul. And you are correct about the URL, too, thanks for fixing that. The article does claim that data centres (sp?) could take up 27% of the [Irish] national electricity output by 2029. DJ -- For IBM-MAIN su

Re: Irish data centers....an opportunity?

Interesting that Ireland & concern for electric power consumption by computers should appear together in a new context. In late 2017 there were articles widely quoted (and since questioned on accuracy) that use of computers for mining cryptocurrency was estimated to consume annually more elect

Not as bad as feared. And I’m an environmentalist. Cloud Computing Is Not the Energy Hog That Had Been Feared The digital services churned out by the world’s computer centers are multiplying, but their energy use is not, thanks to cloud computing, a new study says. - Share on Facebook

Re: Question on use of LPARNAME, SYSNAME and SMFID

Some of this used to be more helpful for the suplex data sets that were tied to the hardware like the coupling facility stuff. And it comes into play when you restoring on hardware that you want to switch to a different data set and have it automatically come up. Brain cell too may have been lost

Re: Irish data centers....an opportunity?

I don’t know, but I imagine there is more detail in the scientific study it’s based on. I don’t have access to it. The study findings were published on Thursday in an article in the journal Science. It was a collaboration of five scientists at Northwestern University, the Lawrence Berkeley Nati

Re: Irish data centers....an opportunity?

This is just a reflex, but that's VERY unlikely. Such predictions are almost always based on "if this trend continues...". But trends never continue - never. Mind you, sometimes they change for the worse. But 27% doesn't sound plausible. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7

Re: Question on use of LPARNAME, SYSNAME and SMFID

As far as I understand the question is "what is the difference between SMF ID and SYSNAME". Or rather "Why on Earth have two identifiers, while there is always 1:1 correlation". I agree, I see no reason to have SMF ID and sysname independent. Among meny identifiers I can explain the purpose of J

Re: Question on use of LPARNAME, SYSNAME and SMFID

oh.. on that I agree. I have always thought that it was silly to have a sysname that didn't match or in some cases is related to in any way the SMFID... but I see it alot. I would love a reason from someone that kept sysname <> smfid. Rob On Sat, Feb 11, 2023 at 2:44 PM Radoslaw Skorupka <

Re: Question on use of LPARNAME, SYSNAME and SMFID

To be honest I did. In the past I used each id different, however naming convention allowed easily guess remaining names. Example sysname = HRET, HREV, HREM, etc. multiple systems, not sysplexed SMF ID = RET1, REV1, REM1, etc. NJE node = NRET, NREV, NREM, etc. sysplex = HRETPLEX or HRET - that w
