Dear list, we recently implemented a basic Sysplex between our three z/OS 1.4 LPARs. I'm focusing on the planned removal of a LPAR from the Sysplex. For this scope I defined a SFM policy as easy as this: DATA TYPE(SFM) DEFINE POLICY NAME(RESET) CONNFAIL(NO) REPLACE(YES) SYSTEM NAME(*) RESETTIME(20) Once all STCs are down, JES2 too, Z EOD is issued, I then follow what the 'MVS Setting up a Sysplex' says: 1. V XCF,my_LPAR,OFF 2. R xx,SYSNAME=my_LPAR 3. System Reset of my_LPAR from HMC (SFM policy does the job nicely) 4. R xx,DOWN The book states that ' Steps 3 and 4 can be automated using the SFM policy' . I read the chapter more than once, the IBMMAIN archive too, but I can't see how the SFM can automate the DOWN reply. Am I missing anything in the SFM definitions, or can step 4. above be automated only using msys for Operation/Netview or any automation product of choice ? Thanks and best regards Walter Marguccio
