If you are asking about opening a VSAM file after an allocation of DISP=OLD, then as others here have said, GRS will prevent you from allocation/OPEN on other systems within the SYSPLEX. However, if you are asking about an allocation of SHR and allowing VSAM SHROPTs to protect you, then you have a different situation. Since each file resides in a different catalog (different names), then the ENQ issued by VSAM will be different. When a VSAM file is OPENED, a series of SYSVSAM ENQs are obtained. The series of ENQs will differ depending upon the files SHROPTs. Part of the SYSVSAM RNAME is the catalog name. Since you have different catalog names, then the SYSVSAM ENQs on each system would differ.
