I concur with Dave. With all usercats being shared with each mastercat, then those mastercats are, for the most part, also alternate mastercats, effectively eliminating SPOF. The only caveat would be if the mastercats having different datasets cataloged directly into them. Also, go with indirect cataloging! :-)

Do most of you guys share a master catalog in the sysplex or do you have a master catalog for each lpar in the sysplex? Just thinking about single point of failures. Thank you.
