Re: Catalogs in a SYSPLEX
So what is the intent of your configuration? To take advantage of all the wonderfulness that is SYSPLEX :) Separate but equal? Or are they running from a common SYSRES Set? Other??? We will have 2 systems that are identical. They are going to have a common SYSRES with a secondary SYSRES to swap to for maintenance and upgrades. They also will share DASD so whatever data sets are on those DASD are accessible by both systems. Hence the catalog question. Right now we have 3 LPAR's (Production, Test and Maintenance). We have DASD accessible to all three with data sets on them. In order for those data sets to be viewed on other LPAR's than the LPAR we create them on we must catalog them on each system. I would imagine that this is analogous to the processes involved with multiple master catalogs or shared master catalogs in a sysplex. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: Catalogs in a SYSPLEX
I was doing some research and I cannot seem to find any specific mention of using a single shared master catalog in the manuals. It doesn't mean I was looking in the correct manuals it just means that what I had been told may not be 100% accurate. The manuls do seem to IMPLY that a shared master catalog is the way to go but there is nothing recommending one over the other that I can see. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Catalogs in a SYSPLEX
We are creating a SYSPLEX of two systems and there seems to be some debate about using a single shared master catalog or multiple master catalogs on each system. The IBM manuals recommend a single shared master catalog but our CE has been advocating multiple catalogs. What are the pros and cons of running each? We have two identical systems in the PLEX and for right now there is no plan to add more, however that could change at any time in the near future. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
