Ed Costello
For IBM's announcement of the S/390 Parallel Sysplex offering this past
week, we are making available two Parallel Sysplex manuals for free on
the internet in BookManager, PostScript, and flat-text formats. The
manuals are:
- S/390 MVS Sysplex Overview - Introducing Data Sharing and
Parallelism in a Sysplex (GC28-1208-00)
- S/390 MVS Sysplex Systems Management (GC28-1209-00)
The URLs for these books are:
gopher://index.almaden.ibm.com/11mvsinfo
ftp://software.watson.ibm.com/pub/mvs
These servers are the only places where you can get Sysplex Systems
Management during the month of April. And they are the only places
where you get get the books in BookManager file format today.
This service is a continuation of a 6-month experiment where selected

disappear altogether at any time. You can help us gauge the utility of
