I currently have 6 production, 1 test, and 1 sandbox LPARs sharing a RMM 
environment.

I have SYSID as the SMFID of each LPAR.

I have CDSID as a generic name.  We created the system with all 6 LPARs when we 
installed RMM.  Based upon this, I would say you need to keep CDSID(SYSA).

Also, we don't have SYSID in our VLPOOL definitions.

The reality is that all our definitions in EDGRMM00 are identical, with the 
exception of the SYSID which reflects the SMFID of LPAR itself.

Thanks

Subject: DFRMM Setup

I have a question about setting up DFRMM on a new LPAR.
We currently have an LPAR called SYSA, running DFRMM on a z/OS R2.2 system.
We are in the process of building LPAR, SYSB, which will share everything with 
SYSA, including the DFRMM control data sets. (The PDA data sets will be 
independent).  

We want to use the same VTS tapes on SYSA and SYSB. Where the same scratch pool 
is used and tapes created on SYSA can be used on SYSB, and vice versa.

The following are excerpts of our current EDGRMMxx PARMLIB member on the SYSA 
LPAR:
OPTION  BLP(RMM)   -                                       
        CDSID(SYSA)    -                                     
        SYSID(SYSA)    - 

VLPOOL  DESCRIPTION('SYSA - VTS tapes')     -              
        EXPDTCHECK(N)                                      -       
        MEDIANAME(3490E)                                  -       
        PREFIX(J*)                                                -        
        NAME(J*)                                                  -       
        RACF(N)                                                    -       
        SYSID(SYSA)                                            -       
        TYPE(S)                                                           

I am creating the EDGRMMxx member for the SYSB LPAR and have the following 
questions: 
1) Should the  CDSID on the SYSB system also be CDSID(SYSA)?  
    I believe it should be.
2) What should we use in the SYSID(xxxx)  parameter in the VLPOOL statement on 
the SYSB LPAR?
    Should this be SYSID(SYSA) or SYSID(SYSB)?
    Should we omit this parameter on both LPARs?
    Does it really matter, since both LPARs will use the same tapes?       

Any assistance is appreciated.
