Thanks all for the info. We're a simple 2 LPAR Monoplex (3rd Linux soon) and I didn't explain myself well on one point - a problem I suffer from :)... I too believe in keeping it simple. It was a mistake/poor choice in creating my initial IODF with a SYS1 HLQ. The SYS0 HLQ we previously used was i

We have two IODF's for our entire shop, and run mulitple sysplexes (unfortunately). While we're looking toward merging systems, we will continue to have a test (sandbox) and PPRC watchdog systems that are logically separate from our production sysplex, but share gadgets (we do not have the fun

I think you are making things a little more complicated than they should be. I would use the same IODF for all systems. This would cause the IODF to be shared. One benefit is that an error which affects one system can be fixed from the other system. I have a HLQ for my IODF which keeps it out o

We converted from a z800 to a z9BC in February (z/OS 1.7). We had been using a shared SYS0 IODF for years, but when I created the IODF for the z9 I used SYS1 from the PROD z800 LPAR (thinking keep it separate). This SYS1 IODF was used to create the z9 IOCDS, which was used to POR the z9 and IPL the
