We have INTERVAL(85) and OPNOTIFY(87) and CLEANUP(15) so my question is when the resources get frozen. The resources I am concerned about would be the network, probably TCP/IP related, which cause the distributed nodes to get timeouts. Is it when I issue the V,XCF,SYSTS1,OFFLINE or R__,sysname=systs1 or when I click RESET - OK? And when does the INTERVAL and OPNOTIFY period begin. Perhaps this site should set the INTERVAL and OPNOTIFY to something like 30 and 35 to shorten the time the resources are frozen.
As far as weights are concerned, that calculation determines which lpars remain in the sysplex if connectivity is disrupted. If A loses its connection to B then will C continue sharing with A or B... I remember Gummibaeren, not seen in the states too often.

This actually requires reading up on what the parms in the SFM policy do :-( I know why we treat all our systems the same! A quick look makes me guess that they intended to specify different weights to the lpars to keep the production system alive and kill the test system, if necessary. That is kinda confirmed by the PROMPT for the production system. To be honest, while I (intellectually) understand the different weights, in reality the cases I have seen did not leave any choice but to remove a system that was 'dead' and was specified in either the ixc402D or IXC102A, so one might as well treat them all alike! EXSPAT: We don't have any such member in our parmlib concat, either. Meaning that we take all the IBM defaults. Then you apparently also take the IBM default, which I would consider good. As for the 'Suessigkeiten' - I am a fan of (virtual) gummibears! :-) (Just ask my colleagues!) :-) Best regards, Barbara ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
