I put this question to IBM recently and learned a difference between
parallel sysplex (with CF) and basic sysplex (without). With CF supporting
XCF, other systems are notified when one member is truly down. Without a
CF, other systems *believe* a member is down but need operator
confirmation.
That difference matches our experience across the enterprise.

Hi:
I'm looking to get clarification on whether or not the z/OS console
IXC102A message requesting that the operator confirms that a member of a
sysplex bas been reset always appears when a member is removed from the
sysplex. The message I am referring to is:
> IXC102A XCF IS WAITING FOR SYSTEM sysname DEACTIVATION. REPLY DOWN
> WHEN MVS ON sysname HAS BEEN SYSTEM RESET
I have been told that some installations never see it, and I suspect it
it would not be replied to by automation without somehow managing to
cause a system reset to occur on the member being removed. Not having
the luxury of being able to set up an experiment on every known hardware
and software configuration, I can't prove or disprove this contention.
Does anyone know for sure? If it sometimes does NOT occur, do you know why?
