A few thoughts This is NOT purely an academic excersize - if an lpar crashed with a DS member on it, and the LPAR COULD NOT be immediately restarted. You would NEED to bring up the downed member on the remaining LPAR in light mode - to free any locked threads - miake sure all the drda ports

The answer is much more related to your infrastructure than the DB2 DS Member itself. (You can indeed run different DS members on a single LPAR) - we've done it during a DR exercise ) The question is more about do you have shared parmlibs/proclibs/RACF etc. etc. Some other considerations might

Unless I am missing something. The point of DB2 Data Sharing is there is a GROUP (Umbrella) that connects multiple DB2 Regions. So if you have 2 or more DB2 Data Sharing regions. One on LPAR1 one on LPAR2 Then if LPAR1 is down, then LPAR2 will take on the DB2 data sharing work. Does that

Bill, Why are you wanting to do that? A DB2 Data sharing environment has a DB2 Start on each lpar that shares the Same DB2 information. If you have 4 LPARs, you would have one DB2 Data Sharing region on the LPARs you want. For example: I have a group name of DBP2, but I have 3 DB2 regions
