Gil, This is the first stage in merging the 2 SYSPEXes. We would then look to merging some control datasets, e.g. tape. In this step we just want to achieve a single (Bronze) SYSPLEX for the price benefit. -- For IBM-MAIN subscrib

Thanks for your reply. I assume you are using the supplied ISGNQXIT to allow reserves for volumes shared outside the SYSPLEX. We actually plan to share all DASD but the systems of the original 2 SYSPLEXes would continue to use their original datasets. As far as couple datasets, that would be the on

George, In my opinion, you should espire to share as much as possible. Whenever using different data sets for each group of LPARs is a must, I would use a new qualifier in the data set name to differenciate the 2 groups (from the 2 previously seperate SYSPLEXes). Even though you will be using dif

We are looking at merging 2 SYSPLEXes which are 20 KMs apart. Our first step is to create a Bronze-PLEX as described in SG26-6818 Merging Systems into a SYSPLEX. The driver is to achieve single SYSPLEX pricing. We want to create on SYSPLEX where all systems would share the same ISGLOCK structure an
