It depends on your definition of 'share'. The HMC is the seat of zManager, which has domain over all the nodes in the ensemble. There are the two network types - INMN, the intra-node management network and the IEDN intra-ensemble data network. The IEDN has the whole ensemble as its scope so here's where the idea of 'sharing' the zBX comes in, to my thinking. The zBX may sit in another node from a given CEC but the units of work are classified through the whole ensemble.
As I say, all I know about it is from an Expo session or two, some reading and the Wildfire session. No real hands-on.

Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu> Thomas, This is very helpful. When you say "You can couple up to eight nodes", do you mean 8 CECs to a zBx, that 8 CECs can share a zBx? If so, does zManager serialize the I/O?
