Got that right. Until we fully deploy 1.10, planned D/R is a pain (NEWROOT will alleviate the need for sysplex-wide IPLs). Until 1.11 is available (or we try to press for an SPE), we are exposed for unplanned datacenter shutdown. ALTROOT will alleviate that problem. We considered disintegrating sysplex sharing at the start of the aggregation project, but that brings hardship for our software deployment and for some of our developers. >Both of the subplexes came with the recommended setup: A common DAE >dataset shared by all members in that (sub)sysplex.

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation (it took a couple of reads to digest everything, particularly about shared catalogs and DAE sharing) and the heads-up on the health check. We need to review our systems... our hybrid is a little different from yours, and I'm can't see from IPCS that DAE is having a problem. We've got IPLs coming up this weekend - time to comb the logs... As for subplexing and pricing schemes, DAE is the least of our worries, too (I posted something of a ideological rant on that yesterday in another thread). It doesn't seem that conceptually difficult to allow for DAE subplexing, but then I'm not, nor have I ever truly been, a developer...
