NOTE:
•
3390-9A: Can be used for both FXmto and FXotm. The same access as for 3390-9 is allowed
from mainframe hosts. Read and write are possible from open-system hosts.
•
3390-9B: Can be used only for FXmto. The same access as for 3390-9 is allowed from mainframe
hosts. Read only is allowed from open-system hosts.
•
3390-9C: Can be used only for FXotm. The same access as for 3390-9 is allowed but read only
from mainframe hosts. Read and write are possible from open-system hosts.
•
3390-LA: Can be used for both FXmto and FXotm. The same access as for 3390-L is allowed from
mainframe hosts. Read and write are possible from open-system hosts.
•
3390-LB: Can be used only for FXmto. The same access as for 3390-L is allowed from mainframe
hosts. Read only is allowed from open-system hosts.
•
3390-LC: Can be used only for FXotm. The same access as for 3390-L is allowed but read only
from mainframe hosts. Read and write are possible from open-system hosts.
•
Emulation type —C volumes can be read from Mainframe hosts but not written to. However, read
and write operations are possible to —C type volumes from Open system hosts.
•
When initializing —C volumes, use quick initialization which formats only 1 cylinder on the top
of the volume.
Interoperability with HDLM
When Data Exchange is used with HDLM, the Data Exchange version must be 01-03-56 or later. The
appropriate support platform versions are shown in
on page 55. See the Hitachi Dynamic
Link Manager Software User's Guide for the host platform for details on the each platform.

Installing and Configuring the Data Exchange Volumes
The Data Exchange volumes are installed and configured during storage system installation and
configuration. The Data Exchange volumes should be dedicated to data exchange operations to avoid
accidental overwriting or deletion of important data. The FXmto volumes (-B and -A) contain mainframe
data to be transferred to open-system LUs. The FXotm volumes (-C and -A) contain open-system data
to be transferred to mainframe volumes. The FXoto volumes contain the intermediate datasets for file
transfers between open-system platforms. Data Exchange does not support concurrent access to Data
Exchange volumes by the mainframe and open-system hosts.
