Nope. That's when you use base sysplex. XCF over FICON CTC - the configuration for GRS is *way* easier, and GRS will prefer to use XCF if it has the option. And the ability to reconfigure GRS dynamically is worth the price of admission alone. Merging WLM policies can get interesting for a shop that is coming from a ring of monoplexes, but for a "greenfield" site, even that isn't a consideration.

Absolutely no sense in going (non-XCF) GRS ring if installing new these days. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
