We have shared dasd between our Prod Test Lpars ever since we had Lpars over 10 years ago. I have never seen a problem. We have had our share of problems. - -teD I’m an enthusiastic proselytiser of the universal panacea I believe in!

You can always READ without any risk of corrupting data, so if you know that data is being update only from say ONLY one sysplex, the risk of corruption should be minimal. Just time when you read the data to ensure you get the 'latest' version. There is an exposure even if you only do updates

In the VTOC, a DSCB may be rewritten to update the last reference date even for a dataset opened only for INPUT. I have firmly believed, for over 15 years, if you are sharing DASD you need GRS. If you are sharing across PLEX's, you need MIM (not MII anymore). Period. End of statement. Many

Thanks all, conclusions: To transfer file from one SYSPLEX to another SYSPLEX, we can use Flashcopy or Shadowimage, so different SYSPLEX read/update different volumes. Yes, it is safe, but we have to change our TWS application procedures to do Flashcopy. We must buy CA-MIM, or use GRS to

Hi Yadong, Actually GRS can also be made to handle cross-sysplex DASD sharing, but requires an installation exit ISGNQXIT, to ensure a HW Reserve is used for the cross-sysplex shared volume.(price = performance for integerity) You can always READ without any risk of corrupting data, so if you

Hi, all, We have 2 questions: 1. Is there any other software besides CA-MII to manage data integrity on share dasd between different SYSPLEX? 2. If we just use share DASD to do file transfer from one SYSPLEX to another SYSPLEX, do we still need a software like CA-MII? Any
