2876 - Successful Installation or Upgrade of a Coupling Facility (CF) Speakers: Mark Brooks (IBM Corporation) In this session, the speaker will describe the proper sequence of events when installing, removing, or replacing a Coupling Facility (CF) in your Sysplex. He will explain how z/OS uses the Coupling Facility Resource Manager (CFRM) policy to manage the coupling facilities, structures, and structure connectors in a Sysplex. When you perform the necessary fundamental operational procedures and configuration changes in the proper sequence, you will have success. Failure to perform this work in the correct order, at the right time can cause confusion, and in the worst case, outages for one, some, or all systems in a Sysplex. The speaker will describe the behavior of z/OS when a CF is not installed properly, and provide some techniques for resolving the various problems that then arise. This is a new session for Orlando. http://shareew.prod.web.sba.com/proceedingmod/abstract.cfm?abstract_id=1 7311&conference_id=17 or http://tinyurl.com/5yzh5q His summary advice on this was Fix: Structures Not Removed. If CF still exists: - Reconnect it - Initiate application processes as needed to perform recovery for failed-persistent connectors - As needed, finish removing structures from CF * Preferred solution because: - Avoids/recognizes loss of data - Allows applications to complete their recovery - Allows CFRM to resolve pending deletes cleanly * If CF no longer physically exists: - SETXCF FORCE,STR,STRNAME=xxx * To be avoided because: - Potential loss of data - Applications may require more elaborate recovery - Space in policy consumed with pending deletes that cannot be resolved These pending deletes do not impact applications You do not need to make them "go away" z/OS V1R9.0 MVS Setting Up A Sysplex, SA22-7625 may have some more advice.

We prepared A new CFRM policy containing the new 2097 definition on the two CF lpars, CF2 and CF3. Now, after the migration we have CF3 defined on 2097 with active structures, but CF2 has still definitions of the old structures and remained pending with its 2094 definition and with "NO SYSTEMS CONNECTED to this CF" How can we CLEANUP the remaining Structures in CF2 so that the new 2097 difinition will take place so that we will be able to use the CF ??
