Hi all, Many thanks to all that replied this message. In fact I confirmed (manuals and IBM ETR) that the usage of GRS is mandatory to add a new system to an existing sysplex, and because of this my boss is not happy at this moment, but I found in that a system using the GRSRNL=EXCLUDE parmlib parameter can be added to an existing sysplex (see details below).
Anyone is using this type of configuration? There is any alternate suggestion for this approach? Thanks in advance, Morelatto T-Systems Brazil >From the "z/OS V1R4.0 MVS Setting Up a Sysplex", page 18: GRSRNL=EXCLUDE indicates that all global enqueues are to be treated as local enqueues. All ENQ macro requests are excluded from global serialization and are serialized locally; except that all resources identified on an ENQ SCOPE=SYSTEMS,RNL=NO macro are globally serialized on all systems in the complex. Use GRSRNL=EXCLUDE when you do not have an existing global resource serialization complex, are adding the system to a sysplex, and want the serialization of most resources done with the RESERVE macro. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
