You can dynamically activate the new sysplex couple datasets without
shutting any system down.
SETXCF COUPLE,ACOUPLE=SYS1.TOPLX1C.XCFCDS71,TYPE=SYSPLEX
SETXCF COUPLE,PSWITCH,TYPE=SYSPLEX
SETXCF COUPLE,ACOUPLE=SYS1.TOPLX1C.XCFCDS72,TYPE=SYSPLEX
And you're done. Don't forget to change COUPLExx to reflect the new
dataset names.

Hello,
I have a question on switching XCF data sets.
We currently have 5 systems in a SYSPLEX. We are looking to add more.
Our current XCF data sets were defined to hold 5 systems, using the following
definitions:
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IXCL1DSU
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DEFINEDS SYSPLEX(TOPLX1C)
DSN(SYS1.TOPLX1C.XCFCDS71) VOLSER(T1CX01)
MAXSYSTEM(5)
CATALOG
DATA TYPE(SYSPLEX)
ITEM NAME(GROUP) NUMBER(60)
ITEM NAME(MEMBER) NUMBER(50)
ITEM NAME(GRS) NUMBER(1)
DEFINEDS SYSPLEX(TOPLX1C)
DSN(SYS1.TOPLX1C.XCFCDS72) VOLSER(T1CX02)
MAXSYSTEM(5)
CATALOG
DATA TYPE(SYSPLEX)
ITEM NAME(GROUP) NUMBER(60)
ITEM NAME(MEMBER) NUMBER(50)
ITEM NAME(GRS) NUMBER(1)
We will create new data sets using the following parameter:
MAXSYSTEM(10)
The following is our definition in SYS1.PARMLIB(COUPLE00)
COUPLE SYSPLEX(TOPLX1C)
PCOUPLE(SYS1.TOPLX1C.XCFCDS71,T1CX01)
ACOUPLE(SYS1.TOPLX1C.XCFCDS72,T1CX02)
RETRY(100)
MAXMSG(1000)
CFRMPOL(TESTPLX5)
My question is, can I switch the current systems to use the new data sets,
without shutting down any systems?
If so what are the commands?
I was looking at the SETXCF command, but it does not seem to do what I am
looking for.
If we have to shut down the systems, do we have to shut all 5 down at the same
time?
Any input is appreciated.
