I tried to access two different credit card sites just now. Both
can't help due to system maintenance. One site announced maintenance
hours starting 2am, or one hour from when I started trying.
It seems that I thought major banks had Sysplexes behind them, I
guess not! :(
Parallel Sysplex has nothing to do with that. You're talking about
*banking system* which consist of many elements, optionally including PS.
Even if the PS is there and is really available, it doesn't mean the
system (banking system) will be available.
I work under SLA which allows me to have 8 hours of planned outage per
year. No sysplex. I have never reached the limit, because I easily
"share" outages demanded by other components.
In such case PS adds almost no value, and is not the factor of banking
system availability.
Just my €0.02
