Cross-posting to JES3-L... IBM got our management to bite on the PSA pricing carrot, so we're starting a project to merge two existing sysplex systems and several of our monoplex systems to meet the pricing metric (aka "BronzePlex", or ShamPlex/Extended). One day we hope to grow up to be a "PlatinumPlex".
I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who has successfully implmented PSA for pricing, offline, of course (contact info at end). We've got the RedBooks, SAPR Guides, etc., and are studying - I'm looking for tips, techniques, "gotchas" that will shorten the learning curve. Specifically, anyone who has experiences to share with the following configurations / technologies: * Multiple data centers - we have two buildings, about 12Km apart * z9 processors with ICF's, one in each building * DS8000 with synchronous PPRC between the buildings * 9037-002 migrating to STP (one-step cutover or phased migration?) * z/OS 1.8 with a mix of JES2 (all monoplex) and JES3 * In Building "1", we have a JES3 MAS 1 Global + 1 Local * In Building "2", we have a JES3 MAS, 1 Global + 1 Local, several independent JES3 Globals, and several independent JES2 nodes * While we're OK with merging the independent Globals into the plex as Locals on the one side, I'm not sure we are ready to make the MAS cross-center. * PPRC "watchdogs" are on independent JES3 Globals, not to be in the PSA TIA, Arthur Gutowski Ford Motor Company [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
