Re: How to cable two ESLS disk expansion units to our new EMX0 expansion unit.

It's IFS, slow backup/recovery. Since theses files are all the size of the disk units (plus a bit for management) all rules and gotchas for large IFS files apply. ASYNCBRING will help some, but maybe not as much as you might think.

Oh my. I've never included /QFPNWSSTG in the backup of this lpar before.
Took what used to be a 25 minute full system save (*ALLUSR only takes 3
minutes) and it is really dragging on.
Been at:
Started processing 132500 objects, completed 0 objects.
for over an hour.
VTL interface shows four tapes loaded and the stats change.
