Hello list,

Is anyone running CA-11 3.0 in a (large?) sysplex environment?  If so,
can you share what you are doing when the master CA-DATACOM (MUF) system
needs to be IPLed?  What issues (if any) have you run into with moving
the MUF?  What about any unplanned outages for the MUF LPAR.

I am not looking for a RTFM answer.  We know the documented procedure
is to suspend CA-11 tasks on all LPARs, move the DATACOM task, then resume
the CA-11 tasks.

We are currently running CA-11 in a 2 LPAR development sysplex but
are hesitant to roll it out to our production sysplexes the way the
product works right now.  Real world experiences are more what we
are looking for.

Private replies welcome from shy ibm-main lurkers. :-)

TIA,

Mark

p.s.  if you want to get on an interested parties list for
this issue you should contact CA - problem #3235.

 Title: * RUN CA-11 REGIONS WITH CA-DATACOM/AD MUFPLEX

Symptom:    Sites running CA-11 on multiple LPARS would like to be able to
process using multiple MUFs in a MUFPLEX configuration.

Reason:     To be able to provide a fault tollerent operation utilizing
shared updateable databases between two z/OS CA-Datacom/AD MUFs
running on separate LPARs and or processors.

Action:     Investigate & test in house multiple CA-11 regions and
two CA-Datacom/AD MUFs configured as a MUFPLEX.  Also
determine whether the application can automatically detect and
handle the switching from one MUF to the other in the event that
one MUF LPAR is lost.


WARNING:    CA-DATACOM/AD HAS NOT BEEN CERTIFIED TO RUN AS A MUFPLEX.
