Well then, you don't agree with me! There are many smaller shops which share DASD across PROD/DEV/TEST, and a Sysplex can be a very appropriate configuration for them.
>>> "Staller, Allan" <[email protected]> 8/12/2009 10:01 AM >>> I agree. 1 sysplex for all is not a good design point for the O/P. I believe he could still benefit from a 2 sysplex design in the same box. 1 for Prod, and 1 for DEV/TEST/QA. Two LPARs for each. <snip> The OP was asking about using Sysplex to join his three monoplexes into a single Sysplex. Availability may have been the original purpose of Sysplex, but it can and has been used for other purposes since it's inception. You have obviously not been following the recent discussion that spawned this thread ;-) </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 CONFIDENTIALITY/EMAIL NOTICE: The material in this transmission contains confidential and privileged information intended only for the addressee.
