I have been testing Import/Export, and remember the concerns voiced about 
performance.  I have a couple of questions about what I saw....

1.  Our server is MVS at Level 11.  I exported a client that had 137M of data, 
in about 19 minutes.  On the surface that is nothing to write home about, but 
it also isn't the 2-3 hours that I had heard about either.  Does level 11 
contain the performance
improvements? Are there more to come?

Why am I concerned about 19 minutes for this example? - The test case was an 
OS/2 client who had only been backed up and migrated once; there were few, if 
any, of his data in the DASD pool.  This amounts to (I think) writting 
appropriate control informati
on to the tape about the client, and then doing a tape to tape copy.  We are 
using 3480 technology in an STK silo. I would have expected a little faster.

2.  After the export (done from the OS/2 admin GUI) I found that the client 
definitions were the same as before - what I would expect if I was doing a 
backup for disaster recovery.  However, I could not locate any information on 
how to make a "permanent"
export - for example, I am moving a client from one server to another.  Does 
this facility exist, or am I on drugs?

3.  I am somewhat concerned about the export tape itself.  After the export was 
complete, I looked for the tape, but could not seem to locate it through ADSM.  
To our tape management software (CA-1) the tape looked "good" - permanent 
retention, owned by A
DSM, etc. - but it did not show up in the storage pool section of the admin 
GUI.  I went to the command line client, and did a "Q vol", both as a generic 
request, and with the specific vol ser, but it was reported as not found. I 
would think that there ne
eds to be a way of keeping track of which tapes are being used here, or they 
will fall into a black hole.  We need some way to report on these volumes.  Am 
I missing something?

Thanks
