Hi all, I've just noticed the ability to position the GRS contention notification in a GRS star (OA11382). I did notice that the reasoning for the ability to do this is to better balance workload in a sysplex, but can't find any recommendations as to the positioning. We are running sysplex mostly as a DB2 server, but not particularly as a load balancer, so do have busier systems than others. We run many DB2 systems per image. We have also had CPU contention problems, where GRS appears high in the mix (together with DB2 systems). My 2 questions are: 1) does anyone have a policy on GRS CNS positioning in their sysplex (and if so what is it and why)? 2) otherwise does anyone have any opinion on whether it might make sense to position CNS in either the busiest or the quietest system in the sysplex (the former on the basis of reduced traffic, the latter on better CPU allocation)?
