I believe there is a manual that comes with z/OS called Setting up a Sysplex? This is probably a good place to start - and I am sure there are numerous Share presentations on this as well.
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Fred Glenlake Sent: Monday, February 05, 2018 12:25 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Setting up a new parallel sysplex I am looking for documentation on how to set up a full parallel sysplex from a "sham-plex". We are running all the usual cast of characters, IMS, DB2, CICS, MQ, etc. We have a basic sysplex in place to be able to qualify for IBM sysplex pricing. The management team has decided we should have a full parallel sysplex to be able to do z/OS maintenance, etc. without taking an outage to the client applications. They would also like to reduce the amount of time it takes us to bring up our DR systems. It might mean we are going to have a physically separate processor in another location/city, that has not yet been decided yet. It has been a while since I have worked with setting up a sysplex so I was hoping someone could direct me to where I might find documentation on setting up a full parallel sysplex with CICSPLEX, IMSPLEX, DB2PLEX, JESPLEX, etc. I have the IBM redbook on Sysplex Considerations (all 500+) pages of it and I am starting to go through it. What I don't see and have not found yet is something that would help me determine what do to first, what can I do ahead of time to prepare or position for the new full parallel sysplex. Perhaps if there is a document or manual or informational APAR that indicates how to get from basic sysplex to full parallel sysplex. Many thanks in advance for any pearls of wisdom.
