Main reason to have MII/MIA in the first place is so you don't have those restrictions (with due regard to PDSE's): Sysplex NE MIM-plex NE SMS-plex NE MIA-plex Kudos to those who can avoid that in a large, fast-growing shop. (There are other pluses as well.) Dick HFHS Mainframe Administration

Its easy IF: SYS-plex = GRS-plex = SMS-plex = TAPE-DEVICE-SHARING-plex It is NOT easy if you HAVE to share dasd beyond the boundary of a sysplex. In my case, I fixed that first, and then once the Sysplex boundary was the same as the shared-dasd boundary, then the project was easy. My opinion.
