Lucas, You don't mention whether you have MIM available to span ENQs across your plexes, so I'll presume that you don't. If that is correct, then you should NOT share a sysres across plexes since you will not have data set integrity from one plex to the next. Clone the sysres to make things easier for you for sure, but don't share without dataset integrity. (Bad things(tm) happen if you lose integrity.) -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
