In a sysplex, there are shared resources used by the various sysplex-wide
components (e.g. ISGLOCK structure, CFs, couple datasets, security DB) that,
if held up by a particular member, can cause slowdowns across the sysplex
(a/k/a sympathy sickness).  You probably have to 'drill down' to see what
XCF resource is involved in the delays reported by RMF.

No.  ISGLOCK must reside on a single CF.  Of course, you can set the
preference list for ISGLOCK to be a particular subset of CFs and rebuild the
structure to get it to the preferred CF.  No outage is required.
