This kind of "WOW"! has been around for a lonnnnngggg time! Remember IMS/XRF (not needed with SYSPLEX)? The first time we had an auto XRF switch (not operator initiated; due to a failure), nobody but operations/SYSPROG knew. Nor, did they when we restarted the primary and switched back. IBM auto fail-over has been around for years. (Actually, I remember TANDEM doing in in 1981). When in doubt.
