IBM s/390 Coupling Facility conversion

Hello all, just a question out of couriosity: Does anybody of you have experience regarding a conversion of a s/390 coupling facility into a fully usable s/390 server system? I got a coupling facility Generation 3. The difference between such facilities and a fully usable server configuration is that it can only use a single type of interconnections, no ESCON adapters etc. I think that such a coupling facility is defined by the software installed on the front-end system (and IBM Thinkpad) and I heard that IBM can perform a conversion. Can a hobbyist do the same? And hints or advises are appreciated! Have a nice weekend and thanks alot in advance for your answers. Kind regards, Pierre _________________________________________________________________________ In 5 Schritten zur eigenen Homepage. Jetzt Domain sichern und gestalten!
