Coming up with a "fresh" CFRM CDS in DR is a quick and effective solution, if
your configuration supports it. We *used* to do this very same thing, when
we had several "sham"plexes. Then we revised our DR setup (specifying BOTH
CF's in the PREFLISTs, as someone else pointed out).
I wonder, has anyone who uses th "clean" CFRM CDS technique migrated to
GRS Star?
We are migrating our sysplexes and monoplexes into a cross-site sysplex
("sham"plex/e) for PSA pricing, and as we will have more than two systems,
we saw fit to migrate away from Ring.
During sandbox testing, and implementing our first production system last
night, I discovered that GRS Star does not IPL when you have a brand-
spanking new CFRM dataset, even if it has a policy loaded into it, because
that policy has not yet been STARTED. Because you cannot START the policy
from the new CFRM dataset prior to IPL, and COMMNDxx is too late to start
the policy, I found I had to override the IPL SYSP=(xx,yy,...),GRS=TRYJOIN,
get the Ring initialized, start the CFRM policy, then SETGRS MODE=STAR. I
IPLed a second time, just to make sure all was well.
Just some food for thought... If anyone else is in STAR, using the "clean"
CFRM technique and has an easier way, I'd love to hear from you. Going
forward, this might not be a concern for us, but the first one was a little
rough.
