Thanks Timothy for confirming that. We are planning to implement a sysplex

Looking at implementing a basic sysplex where an application will be able
to run on two different LPARs but only on one instance at a time.
Since it's difficult to change the advertised IP for the application/LPAR

That is my view. The application team won't care if the application is
performing slowly since this is just a functional test. It means a path
to HA on the production server. And in my view it doesn't matter if the
engine is an ICF of GP - the load is going to be low on it.

Just to explain why we need two LPARs. The application uses a VSAM dataset
which is updated for all incoming transactions. If we want to run two
instances of that application on two different LPARs to provide
availability even if one of the LPARs goes offline for any reason, then the

Whenever I've setup a SFTP server at home assuming the server has a NAT
assigned IP address like 192.168. I've had to put a routing rule in the
router to send Port 22 traffic to that PC.
Otherwise the traffic hits your external IP but nobody is there to listen
to Port 22 traffic which is SFTP.
This blog resonated a lot with me since the generation of Z box being built
is more recent.
Having just put a Z14 ZR1 in the points he raised were quite relevant even
today.

Good luck to him.
Hi Andrew
Thanks for the information. I am making further enquiries about the way our
CPU is charged. The red book is particularly interesting because it seems
to suggest that you can identify mobile workload without having to make any
changes to your applications but use WLM and RMF instead.

Looking at the options of using mobile pricing as a way to manage our
increasing CPU cost, just wondering if readers of this list have
implemented mobile pricing and if so, was it hard to do and the benefits
worthwhile?
I'm trying to counter some arguments internally that the reporting
I need to check with our account manager again but this is my
understanding. We just replaced our DR mainframe with a Z14 ZR1. Part of
the acceptance testing was running our full DR suite at the DR site. So we
activated a CBU which lasted 14 days I am told and ran our tests. The

When I was looking at Metro Mirror with practice I found the following
video from the Washington Systems Centre very helpful.

We are about to replace our DS8870 in the DR site with a new DS8886. This
is currently in a Metro Mirror relationship with production. We will copy
from the old SAN to the new SAN using Global Copy and then start a Metro
Mirror session from the production SAN to the new SAN. This is all using
Copy
Well the process was in place well before I ever joined. I am not aware of
the history of the strategy except to protect disks in the SAN. I had never
considered somebody actually walking in and taking both the SAN disks and
the SKLM servers also! That would be a breach. That being said, should
We encrypt all our host data without worrying about z/OS by using SKLM on
our DS8K SAN.
I'm told this means all data that the host can access is encrypted at rest
and is transparent to the host.

OK. I think we are making progress but I am not sure what the sysprogs are
doing - seems to be suck it and see.
We can now access the SE using SOO but we don't have the right credentials
- appear to be just operators which isn't any good if we want to activate
CBU's in a DR exercise. I suspect
