Hi all, We are considering giving a try to the QUIESCE/RESTART commands. I have found in the archives this thread that answers some of the questions we are asking ourselves, but there are some left ...
I would like to know about the effect of QUIESCE and RESTART on the GRS ring. Our target environment would be a BASIC SYSPLEX with three images (let us name them A, B, C) in a GRS ring. After QUIESCEing image C, what will happen to the ring? I would say that it will it get DISRUPTED and, eventually, rebuilt between images A and B. Am I right? And if so, what will be the ring status after RESTARTing C. TIA, Rafa.
