In my opinion, I would share the master catalog as much as possible, and setup the alternate master catalog as a backup to eliminate single point of failure.

Do most of you guys share a master catalog in the sysplex or do you have a master catalog for each lpar in the sysplex? Just thinking about single point of failures. Thank you.
