How to simplify IODF activation
FYI, Check out my "We're Bad, We're Sysplex Wide" Bit Bucket presentation from SHARE in Anaheim 2014. You can drive all your activations from a single dialog in each sysplex. https://share.confex.com/share/122/webprogram/Handout/Session14648/Bit_Bucket_x2E.pdf -- Regards, Tom Conley -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: How to simplify IODF activation
I don’t think I’d use FTP for this mission. It can be quite brittle and difficult to keep secure. How about the z/OS Management Facility? Chapters 30 and 31 of the IBM z/OS Management Facility Configuration Guide (IBM Publication No. SC27-8419) explain how you can configure and secure a multi-Sysplex (and/or multi-Monoplex) network of intercommunicating primary and secondary z/OSMF instances. And then you should have all the unified operator services you need to distribute and activate IODFs across the several z/OS instances with or without automation. Plus you’d be solving a lot of other, future operational challenges that much earlier. — — — — — Timothy Sipples Senior Architect Digital Assets, Industry Solutions, and Cyber Security IBM Z and LinuxONE sipp...@sg.ibm.com -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: How to simplify IODF activation [EXTERNAL]
Sometime ago I was told but IBM support you should do the software activation first and then on the last lpar on the CEC do the software/hardware activation. Doing it that why avoids the need for SOFT=NOVALIDATE during the activation.
