I appreciate all of the input on my question. Here is additional information
that may help clarify....
We have an 8 LPAR sysplex. All are sharing a Top Secret DB.
We need to add 10 more to provide IBM GDPS Hyperswap and Global mirroring. We
would like these (due to political reasons) to use a shared RACF DB.
These new lpars will have limited system access by users and run a reduced
product set.
They will function as Control systems for the Hyper swap and Mirroring
functions for the sysplex.
Can these 18 systems function just fine in this configuration.
I understand that commands will not work between the lpars running different
packages. We may be able to overcome this short coming.
Any more capabilities that will be impacted.
Thanks in advance for any additional insight.
Dennis,
No reason they shouldn't. If you're setting up Global Mirror, you
should only need a controlling LPAR in the local datacenter, and a
remote system in the remote datacenter. Not sure why you need 10 LPARs
unless you have 8 LPARs processing data. I would recommend defining
your sysplexes before introducing GDPS. Have you engaged IBM yet?

Tom Conley
