Shared HFS is a pretty strange thing. It really isn't like anything else in the MVS world as far as I can tell.
1. You have to be some sort of sysplex. I am pretty sure that XCF signaling will be enough to get you up and running. 2. You have to have the HFS sharing data set setup. 3. Everything is shared with the HFS sharing turned on which means that you really need to RTFM... there are no shortcuts on this one. Personally, I think IBM missing the boat here. I keep meaning to open up a change request... but the HFS sharing is not very flexible. Once you turn it on for a couple of systems .. they are linked. I don't have just one SYS1.PARMLIB or just one SYS1.PROCLIB (although we try to keep it down to just a couple). I had really wanted to be able to share things where it made sense.. like between a couple of systems in that were production... or the /etc between multiple system (have dev share, have prod share) but not all of them ( I have a plex with 2 tech systems, 2 dev systems and 9 prod systems ) What I ended up doing is mounting all the binary stuff read-only and sharing them. Every other file system is done system by system. I would really like ZFS/HFS files to be managed in some sort of grouping... maybe more like the JES2 XCF group where we give it a name to keep them all separate within the same plex. Or maybe RLS type sharing where I can actually define what I want to share and what I don't.
