Quick review about DMX3 with code 5773

I'm glad to hear it was smooth for you. We are just on the verge of upgrading to 5772 and we considered going straight to 5773 (mostly for the performance reasons). In the end we decided to wait until it was more established (at the time last month there were only 83 installed DMX arrays with 5773 in the world).

Do you have any mainframe attached to your DMX? Our Mainframe guys are really looking forward to the performance improvements with BCV operations since they have almost 10k devices to deal with at a time.

Ok .. now you can tell everybody how much EMC payed you

That move feature for devices in RDF groups is another one of the things I was looking forward to. You learn as you grow, and we have learned that some things should not have been put in the same group together. But I really don't want to have to tear it apart and put it back together again.

They promised to buy his company for a really good price next week :-P

Gah! I was hoping you had the whole package so it would make our move easier.

We have Mainframe, AS/400, Windows, AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, & ESX with just about every feature used somehow (TimeFinder SNAP, Clone, & BCVs.... SRDF/A & AC).

Makes it fun to qualify everything.

no mainframe here just Windows and Open systems (linux and HP-UX) and we arent doing any BCV or SRDF so it made going to 73 easy.

I want 73 code for the ability to move things between RDF groups. With MSC enabled adding RDF devices is a pain today. The read ahead cache improvements for meta devices and sequential reads looks very promising as well.

We are waiting for more guiniea pigs as well before making the move.
