We have z/OS 1.13 system in sysplex and now I am adding z/OS 2.1  to be
part of this.
So, I have used currently defined couple datasets. But I can see below
message in syslog.

IXC104I SYSTEM STATUS DETECTION PARTITIONING PROTOCOL ELIGIBILITY: 685
  SYSTEM CANNOT TARGET OTHER SYSTEMS.
    REASON: SYSPLEX COUPLE DATA SET NOT FORMATTED FOR THE PROTOCOL
  SYSTEM IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE TARGETED BY OTHER SYSTEMS.
    REASON: SYSPLEX COUPLE DATA SET NOT FORMATTED FOR THE PROTOCOL


When I looked at IXC104I  message it says


SYSPLEX COUPLE DATA SET NOT FORMATTED TO SUPPORT PROTOCOLFormat primary and
alternate sysplex couple data sets by specifying the following parameters
in the input to the IXCL1DSU format utility:

ITEM NAME(SSTATDET) NUMBER(1)

Bring the new couple data sets into service with the appropriate sequence
of SETXCF COUPLE commands.



Not much information has been provided on this. I dont find reason to do
this. Is it really a showstopper for adding z/OS 2.1 with z/OS 1.13
sysplex.

Anybody faced this issue before. Any alternate way to come out from this
issue.
