BTW I've always thought the IXCLOnnn group name to be particularly USELESS and unmnemonic. Likewise the member names - Mnnn. Imagine the (frequently-observed) case where there are several lock structures - GRS Star, several DB2 Data Sharing Group LOCK1 structures etc. How to tell them apart

Lizette, As Scott mentioned, when running in star mode, you may see a CPU spike on the GRS contention notifying system (CNS) when there is a resource contention in the sysplex and the CNS has to issue ENF 51. Try checking whether the system you noticed the CPU spike on is the CNS using a D GRS

We had this in the past because of several thousend ENQ for DB2 tablesspace. We exclude these in the GRSRNL. This is dangerous and can be a pain. So make sure you do NOT share these data. Search the archive for more info. AFAIR we save 50% of the GRS CPU GRS provides a nice as-is monitor. I
