No SE at all means your z/OS (or any other) system is still working, but no HW changes are possible, no IPL, many HW command will fail, etc. Deep sh*t.

One of two SE failed means you can peform everything you want, including STP. Maybe STP setup would be impossible (I haven't checked), but I'd bet it is also possible. I've been working with single SE (primary failed) for some time. It wasn't my dream, but I could live with it.

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?
