These recommendations are culled from the procedure we've used for 20 years.
-- With a new (empty) CFRM data set, you should not see any reference to the production policy. -- 'IN USE BY ANOTHER SYSPLEX' suggests that you are pointing to (a copy of) the prod version, not the DR version. -- You need to name the new CFRM couple data set in your DR PARMLIB, e.g. member COUPLEDR. That same member must also name your DR policy because there will be no active policy on the first IPL: CFRMPOL(drpolicy) /* CFRM POLICY TO ACTIVATE IF NONE FOUND */ -- When we IPL first time in DR with a new CFRM couple data set but a copy of prod sysplex couple, we are prompted to use the prod guy last used (no) or the new guy named in PARMLIB (yes). You can send me notes directly to clarify these or other points. . .

IXC247D REPLY U to ACCEPT USE OR D TO DENY USE OF THE COUPLE DATA SET FOR typename. to which both are replied to with U ISG379E GRS UNABLE TO CONNECT TO THE ISGLOCK STRUCTURE. VALIDATE THAT THERE IS A COUPLING FACILITY DEFINED IN THE CFRM POLICY AND THAT IT IS PHYSICALLY CONNECTED TO THE SYSTEM. ENSURE THAT THE CF IS IN THE PREFLIST FOR THE ISGLOCK STRUCTURE. CF facility is same as prod and is defined in DR CFRM CF is in PREFLIST one unusual thing is on my report for the DR CFRM it shows both the prod policy and the new DR policy but not sure why since I formatted a new CFRM The backup CTCs are in parmlib but could possibly not be connected. should I remove those?
