So I have a few questions I was wondering if someone can explain to me? We are a software development company that have 5 lpars in a SYSPLEX. 1 - z/OS 2.3 , 3 - z/OS 2.2 and 1 - z/OS 2.1, because of developers.
Yes I know the 2.1 is unsupported and this is where my questions start. I have installed the serverpac for z/OS 2.4 and ready to IPL and went looking for the migration guide for 2.4 and used the exploded z/OS 2.2 version (close enough) copy IBM provides. However then I got curious about using z/OSMF, so I downloaded the XML for z/OS 2.2 to 2.4 and the HC_rexx and Discovery and built my workflow on a z/OS 2.3 lpar. It then immediately fails stating z/OSMF cant talk to the 2.1 lpar, because there is no IP address under the SYSTEM tab in z/OSMF. Then as far as my last knowledge was only one instance of z/OSMF can run in a SYSPLEX. Yes I know if I change autogrp and autostart, etc I can but this is not the case. So can someone explain how this could ever work, or how to properly set this up to work? Inquiring minds have tried 100 things but all fail..

As we've announced many moons ago, the Migration book has been removed, and been replaced with the z/OS Upgrade Workflow, found here: https://github.com/IBM/IBM-Z-zOS/tree/master/zOS-Workflow/zOS%20V2.4%20Upgrade%20Workflow (Please read the readme here. Every problem I've heard about from clients is addressed in readme.) If you don't (yet) have z/OSMF Workflow up and running, we've provided an exported view of the workflows that you can find here at the very bottom. We are aware of some "hot link behaviors" that this exported workflow is currently experiencing and are working on fixing that - please be patient. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.e0zm100/abstract.htm The exported view is suitable for viewing, searching, and even printing (if you like to kill trees). You can also export the workflow yourself, after you have created it in z/OSMF, to do better filtering for your enterprise. We do welcome comments you have on the z/OS V2.4 Upgrade Workflows! I encourage people to use the workflow instead of the exported file. The workflow really does have some significant advantages. -Marna WALLE z/OS Install and Upgrade, IBM Poughkeepsie ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ________________________________ [https://www.aciworldwide.com/-/media/aci-footer] <http://www.aciworldwide.com> This email message and any attachments may contain confidential, proprietary or non-public information.
