- Lines: 38
-
- Here at Ohio State, we are considering obtaining a 3090-600J,
- which will be shared by the administrative computer center
- and the academic computing center.
-
- A 3090-600J can be logically partition into 7 partitions; or it can
- be physically partition into two equal halfs, each which could have
- 7 logical partitions.
-
- Each computer center needs a partition for a MVS production system
- and a partition for a MVS test system, for a total of 4 partitions.
-
- There is a possibility that each center may want to run Unix in partition.
- The administrative center is currently running Amdahl's UTS Unix,
- which can only run under VM on an IBM machine, but may consider AIX.
- The academic center is interested in AIX.
-
- Another partition is to be used for a new project.
-
- Does anyone have experiences with partitioning a large 3090 that they
- are willing to share? Any pitfalls we whould be aware of in planning this?
-
-
- Should we consider running VM/ESA as the base system control program in the
- entire CPU complex or part of it? Then run some of the various systems
- under VM. What are the implications of this with respect to various
- types of controllers, etc.? Comments both good and bad are welcomed.
-
-
- I do not want to start a discussion war between the MVS people and the
- VM people. We can use all of the tips, comments, advice that people
- are willing to share.
