Re: Migrating a file to SSD...

Am I misunderstanding? If I specify the UNIT on a file to be SSD
does that not mean that the entire file will be migrated to the SSD?

The UNIT parameter on the CHGPF command is "Preferred Unit", not specific unit.

Setting the UNIT parameter to *SSD means you would LIKE it to be put on the SSD ... but it that doesn't guarantee the object will be put there.

I discovered this when testing SSD support for Implementer ... we don't have any SSD's on any of our systems, but I was able to specify *SSD for the unit parameter and the system was happy. It would TRY to put the object on a SSD if one is available.

The UNIT parameter is documented as not supported in 5.4 & 6.1.
