-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Laurence Chiu Sent: Tuesday, December 5, 2023 2:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Starting up a LPAR for the first time joining a parallel sysplex [CAUTION: This Email is from outside the Organization. Unless you trust the sender, Don’t click links or open attachments as it may be a Phishing email, which can steal your Information and compromise your Computer.] We are building a parallel sysplex. LPAR1 is still in a monoplex with GRS=NONE. It will be shutdown. Then we want to bring up LPAR2 with GRS=STAR and join the sysplex. A couple of questions cropped up. 1. Can LPAR2 be brought up, trying to access the share catalog, RACF database etc when the other LPAR is not up. What are the gotchas to be looking for 2. This will be the first time the LPAR is IPL'd with GRS=STAR and trying to join the sysplex. Would that extend the time for the IPL and what would you be looking for during the IPL? Would it take 2-3 hours to be confident it was working - e.g. CDS are okay, an all other parallel sysplex configurations? 3. What happens when LPAR1 comes up and then joins the parallel sysplex?
