While my advice is not to do it at all, that doesn't meant hat it isn't possible without a plex, just that it's really (really) not a good idea. I have been at sites that were okay with the exposure, and if you are really, really careful;, you will still occasionally have issues, but for the

According to the manual, you can configure them to be connected apparently without wires. I believe it does the route internally, but I can't really tell from the manual. There is probably a better manual because I seem to be seeing just the overview, bur it does appear to not need any

There really is no "safe" way to share DASD without some sort of PLEX, either a full sysplex (with the CF's) or a baisc (baby) sysplex with Ficon adapters as CTC's. Otherwise, Catalog sharing is problematic and PDS/e sharing is not possible, and actually neither is standard PDS sharing of

Beware of PDSEs. I’m not 100% sure but I think the sandbox needs to be in the plex to share them. Updating a PDSE outside of the plex can cause corruption. We have our sandbox in the plex just to avoid issues. On Mon, Jun 19, 2023 at 9:25 AM Paul Gorlinsky wrote: > We have a sandbox system
