Sysplex without GRS on a LPAR

2006-12-08 Thread Marcos Morelatto
Hi all, I know that to add a new LPAR to an existing Sysplex it must be added to the GRSplex (star). My boss insist that this new LPAR (that does not use GRS) can be added without GRS because only the couple datasets volumes (used only for this) will be serialized with RESERVE/RELEASE. Anyone

When you define the CF CHPs to the CF and the new LPAR it will join the GRS Star configuration automatically. Just make sure the IPL parmlib setup for the new LPAR specify the GRS parameters like the other LPARS. On Fri, 8 Dec 2006 18:19:18 -0500, Jim Mulder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: IBM
