Number of 35 GB DASD units (Measurement numbers in GB/HR) IOA and operation
This restrictive test is intended to show the effect of the 2757 IOAs in a backup and recovery
environment. The save and restore operations to *SAVF (save files) were done on the same set
of DASD, meaning we were reading from and writing to the same 15, 30, and 45 DASD units at
the same time. So the number of I/O DASD operations are double when saving to *SAVF.
This was not meant to show what can be expected from a backup environment, see chapter 15
for save and restore device information.
