Greetings.
I am in the process of upgrading a client's zOS 2.1 systems to zOS 2.3,
which means among the many other challenges, configuring a working
zOSMF. It was up for some time on the 2.1 test system, however not
until the 2.2 repackaging retro-fit was applied.
A sentence I encounter frequently is, "z/OSMF can run on a parallel
sysplex, monoplex, or XCF local mode environment." See for example,
page 4 of the IBM z/OS Management Facility Configuration Guide.
For the last two decades, most of my clients have relied on "basic
sysplex" for GRS signalling -- not being able or willing to afford a
parallel sysplex or carve out an LPAR emulating such; it has simply not
been a part of the strategic plans. What are the options, then, for
zOSMF moving forward? Can the LPARs remain a basic sysplex, with zOSMF,
say, operating in some sort of basic mode, e.g. on the test system only?

You can certainly set z/OSMF up so that it starts (or autostarts) on one
system only and does not start on the rest.
