We happen to have a failed SE at the moment. It's the 'alternate', so no immediate impact at all. But the question has been raised, what would happen if the primary failed also? I remember a case years ago (1990s) when there was only one SE in a box, and it went bad. Just meant that we could not IPL or make configuration changes in the meantime, but it did not affect any running system. In those days we had external timer boxes (9370?), so the sysplex was unaffected. Now we have STP, which I believe is a component of the SE.
If a modern box had no working SE for some period of time, would the sysplex across multiple CECs be affected? . . .
