We are planning to test a remote copy sysplex environment and I would like to test it in our home DEV environment PROD data will not be accessible during the DR test so PROD sysplex should not be affected
To test in DEV I have defined a new XCF and CFRM since I will need to do that for DR to account for the different CPU serial number. In DEV I have not changed the serial number for the test, I'm just trying out the procedure. At DR we will IPL the sysplex LPARs one at a time so I'm not concerned about the order, the files or the join. I'm not sure about the order for DEV. Do both LPARs need to be down (not desirable) before IPLing either of them with the new CF and XCF? Or is one at a time okay since one is removed from the sysplex at shutdown and just won't be able to join the current one at IPL I am not planning to create new LOGR and WLM files at DR but I will need to create them for the test as they are shared. so, the plan is- 1. create new XCF and CFRM DR files (new LOGR and WLM for testing DEV at home but not at DR) 2. update COUPLXX with new files 3. shutdown LPAR1 4. IPL LPAR1 with new COUPLxx and respond toinitialize new files 5. Shutdown LPAR2 and IPL with new COUPLxx (no initialize) Thanks, Elaine ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
