So, you just found an incompatibility in ZFS, and found a way out, luckily. It’s the other resources that are shared that are going to cause you problems.
Are you a DFHSM user? How current are you on maintenance in your lpars? I will tell you for fact that if you are an HSM user, there was maintenance in V2.2/V2.3 about a year or so ago that changed the structure of the MCDS. Datasets would not recall on systems that do NOT have that maintenance, or the toleration for it. I suspect that those PTF's never got pushed down to V1.13. The reason I know this, is that there was a period of time where IBM got the hold data on the toleration PTF's wrong, and the minute the maintenance hit the first systems in the plex we had the problem. *These* are the kinds of problems you will run into. If it were me, and I think Brian Westerman probably would say the same, is to put whatever application is requiring you to keep 1.13 into its own stand-alone environment. Of course that adds to the complexity of the situation if you are sharing DASD. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma AVP | Manager, Systems Engineering Fifth Third Bank | 1830 East Paris Ave, SE | MD RSCB2H | Grand Rapids, MI 49546 616.653.8429 | fax: 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of R Hey Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2019 6:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ZOS 1.13 2.2 2.3 in the same sysplex **CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL** **DO NOT open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails** I had build a new plex on zos 1.13, new CF, XCF CDS, SMS, RMM, RACF, Mcat, etc, with only 1 LPAR in it.
