That is what the parms are for in BPXPRMxx. You still have to accommodate the HFS names that are used in your non-sharing systems in the sysplex, but they don't have to be part of the sharing group. ** You can't share /etc, /dev, /var, and /tmp - these all get resolved under $SYSNAME. >What I ended up doing is mounting all the binary stuff >read-only and sharing them.

Mount read only. >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. It is... but one group. So you are limited to one group per plex, but not all systems have to play along. >sharing where I can actually define what I want to share and what I >don't. > <snip> OKay... now I understand where you are going. You want to share HFS A and B in the sharing group, but not C. You are correct... once a system is in the sharing group... it's all or nothing. But if you think of sysplex as a single image (the way it was intended to be), it makes sense. But why? Is it just because it is HFS (or zFS)? I assume you have shared dasd between those systems you mentioned. Do you any MVS data sets that are shared only between prod systems and not on devl systems? Is the access level of DSN=? any different from the prod systems vs. the development systems? Explain the requirement and why you need it better please.
