Hi Arty,
We are about to buy a 3494 with 8 3590 drives, 4 of which will be
ESCON attached for VM/MVS, and the other four will be SCSI attached to an
RS/6000-F50 for ADSM. My understanding is that the 3590 is either ESCON
or SCSI, and not "both".
Can you put an ESCON card in an RS/6000? I guess if you could that might
muddy the waters, but you would need some way of "sharing" the drive with
all three environments, like MIM...
