Hello, We are new to LPARs, HSMplex, and GRS, and I have some questions.
First, some background: We will be running z/OS 1.6 in one LPAR and z/OS.e 1.6 in a second LPAR. We will be running each system in MONOPLEX mode, we will not be sharing the master catalogs, and running a GRS Ring. Our intention is to run DFSMShsm on both systems with the automatic functions done from z/OS.e, only. I have created one ARCCMDxx member that will be used by both and coded ONLYIF statements for all automatic commands. Questions: 1. The RES Vols for each system have duplicate datasets, is there a concern having one system do the automatic backups on the RES vols for both systems? How does HSM keep track of where a dataset was backed up from? 2. I am having a problem understanding all of the GRS RNLs. Specifically, those related to HSM, so any help there would be much appreciated. 3. The last concern is the RNLs needed for both shared catalogs and non-shared catalogs. Thanks so much for any and all advice, Pam Pagnotta U.S. Department of Energy/ RS Information Systems, Inc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
