RE: Death of SNA?

Al,

I still am not clear why you would tell someone that
they should "take joy in the fact that they cannot use
an HMC".
If your product that programs to the HMC requires a
minimum level of code on the HMC, I could see that
being a concern for your product, but not for the HMC
and its function.
The HMC has been stable since V4R3.2 which was
released late last year - nearly six months ago. It
was around the same time that the HMC supported the
scheduled movement of I/O and processing resources, a
function that had been missing up to that point.
I have been using the HMC for nearly a year now. While
I agree that there were some teething troubles in the
begining, those issues have certainly been addressed
and the HMC now has the stability and functionality
that it requires.
It has allowed us to consolidate several move systems
and do away with a total of 4 managing primary
partitions and removed the dependancy that the
numerous secondaries had on those primaries.
