VMAX3 - FICON Modules
Hello all,
Can someone help me on below queries,
1. VMAX3 100K supports how many FICON MM ports (per engine)?
2. VMAX3 100K supports how many FICON SM ports (per engine)?
3. SM and MM has any differences in Engine utilization (or requirement)?
- Thanks

Is there big differences between FICON MM & SM ports? In the guide, i couldn't find anywhere more specific about SM & MM. Any help on this? Thanks

I have 2 VMAX 100K solution as below, where both has OS and Mainframe workloads in same number.
1. VMAX 100K 1 Engine 1 TB - 12*FE, 4*SRDF & 8*SM FICON
2. VMAX 100K 2 Engine 1 TB - 12*FE, 4*SRDF & 16*MM FICON
Both solutions are made for same workload, only difference in request is FICON modules (not number of ports)
Any clue why the 2nd solution took 2 engines? I think it because of FICON port count from 8 to 16. But if 8 ports enough for SM, does it really required 16 ports with MM? Any suggestions! Thanks
