Well, I think you can't do that..... on every side of a peer link you can have ONE and only ONE CF. In your case, you have to add a second peer link for new sysplex. Otherwise, you have to rebuild your configuration, using a couple of peer links (no redoundancy) for both PLEX1a and PLEX1b.... reusing your second peer couple for new sysplexes...
Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cwi Jeret Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 04:25 To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Shared ICP between 2 SYSPLEXES Hello, I have the following question : We have the following configuration : 2 CPC's , on each one 2 LPARS, one CF and One MEMBER of SYSPLEX1. both CF's are connected to the members of the sysplex of the other CPC with a pair of ICP connections .
