I was not referring to Paralell Sysplex in this case, only to basic sysplex. If they are going to be sharing DASD at all then they need GRS, and GRS is much slower without XCF.

There is little to no cost involved, and many benefits. I dare to disagree. Strongly disagree. At least you have to pay for memory for CF, ICF engine, more CP cycles, GRS delays, significantly more sysprog effort. Looking from benefits perspective: depending on your regulations and laws you would have to have production and test separate, so you need more than one sysplex. Every serious shop I know keeps test/dev/sandbox separate from production. That means several sysplexes or monoplexes. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland -- BRE Bank SA ul.
