- Is there anyone out there who is running a version of MVS/XA on an
- IBM 4381 class processor. If so, could you email me a copy of your
- IOGEN input file. It has been a while since I've dealt with 4381s and
- their unique hardware channel setup and an example of MVS defined on
- this hardware would certainly help. I can no longer receive NETDATA
- format files at this site, please place any examples you might send
- inside of an email message.
-
- We are considering using a 4381 in an academic computing center as a
- hotsite backup for our Administrative system currently resident on a
- IBM 3084. What I need to do is to define a MVS IOGEN in my current
- SYS1.NUCLEUS which I can switch to in the event that I need to bring up
- some portion of my MVS system on the 4381.
-
- How are other MVS sites dealing with the issue of the MVS IOGEN view of
- the processing environment in Disaster Recovery mode? The IOGEN and IOCP
- views have to agree for MVS to be able to exercise the hardware; you are
- in recovery mode and the recovery processor is a different processor
- type and all of it's peripherals are on different CHPID and different
- control unit addresses. Do you plan to re-wire and re-address the entire
- hotsite or do you keep a non-active IOGEN ready which will or hopes to
- match a given physical configuration in the intended hotsite?
-
- Thanks for your time,
