I'm wondering is it possible to have
1) Two Hercules systems on the same Windows system
running VM and
2) Connect these two CMS users on each VM system via
a CTCA between these two Hercules systems?
Also:
Is it possible to have these two VM and Hercules systems
on different physical Windows or Linux systems connected
by a CTCA?
Yes to both.
If so, how? What should I read?
Start here:
*
As far as documentation describing actual CTCA functionality goes (i.e. how it works and how to use it), there are the following IBM reference manuals:
* GA22-6983-00 IBM System-370 Special Feature Description - Channel-to-Channel Adapter
* SA22-7091-01 ESA-390 (CTCA) Channel-to-Channel Adapter for the System-360 and System-370 I-O Interface
* SA22-7203-00 ESA-390 ESCON Channel-to-Channel Adapter
* SB10-7034-04 System z - ESCON and FICON Channel-to-Channel Reference
You might be able to find them on the web somewhere if you search hard enough. If you can't find them though, contact me off list and I'll send you a copy. I have them all.
