[comp.protocols.ibm] VM/ISF Horror Stories

DEROEST@UWAVM.ACS.WASHINGTON.EDU (James W DeRoest) (01/10/89)

  We are looking at migrating a 4381 VM/HPO environment to a 3090 VM/HPO.
As a migration path, the idea of linking the two systems together via
VM/ISF over CTC is being considered.  Is anyone using VM/ISF between
multiple systems, and do you have any comments on the usability?  Can
VM/ISF be used over multiple CTC links between two machines?  It seems
to me that running everything over a single 3044 CTC could be a bottle-
neck.  Besides sharing a common directory and spool, are other CU's
available to both sides, such as tapes?  Thanx in advance,
