Move Sysplex out of z/VM

2016-04-13 Thread Werner Zieleznik
Hi, has anyone ever moved a sysplex out of z/VM to the native CEC? It seems to me that I cant define coupling link's form the native CEC into VM. So, if I activate a policy with new CF's on the native CEC the changes are pending and it would not write it to the control datasets. At the
