IBM Implementation Services for Parallel Sysplex (6948-74Z)

Indicating a "Y" to the questions below mean the sample datasets containing the SYSPLEX best practices samples will be shipped in the SystemPac. All the samples are shipped “AS IS”.

Please ensure that you have acquired the IBM Implementation Services for Parallel Sysplex (6948-74Z)and would like to obtain these samples before answering "Y" to the questions below. If you have not acquired the offering and will like more information about it, please contact Anna Lee () or an IBM representative.

Selection / Notes
Have you acquired the IBM Implementation Services for Parallel Sysplex Offering (6948-74Z)? / Yes / (Y–Yes, N-No)
If yes, do you want the best practices samples included in the SystemPac? / Yes / (Y–Yes, N-No) - only valid if customer acquired the Parallel Sysplex Offering
Provide value for MASID / MZM1 / MASID is the symbolic for the JES PLEX ID. It is possible to have multiple JES Plexes within the same parallel sysplex. Default is is ot be the same as System Name (MZM1).

Zone Nicknames/Zone Names:

Zone checking will be preformed to ensure proper grouping/product compatibility and that products of different SRELs are not in the same zone.

Default zone names have been provided. You have the option of selecting your own zone names.

Zone names MUST be less than or equal to 7 characters in length and each zone name MUST be unique.

 If you have other products which are not listed in Table 9 and you want to assign specific zones to them, please add to the table below or request for a list of your ordered products.

Add products below that you want to have assigned specific SMP/E zone.
(The products should not have dependencies on z/OS Base product)
Product Number and version / New Target Zone Name / New Dlib Zone Name

Note: In order to provide additional migration flexibility, three additional SMP/E zones are defined with z/OS R11, JES2 with SDSF support is placed in one zone, JES3 in another and SDSF in third zone, all are separated from the remainder of z/OS. With SystemPac Full Volume Dump format you have option to merge JES2, SDSF product or JES3 into z/OS base zone, specifying the z/OS base zone names (ex. MVST100/MVSD100). If you specified that you would like that JES3 or JES2 not to be delivered in SystemPac order then, product code and related SMP/E zones for JES2 or JES3 will not be assigned and delivered with your order.

In SystemPac Copy By Data set format, the new zones can later be merged into the z/OS zone during installation or at a later time, depending on the customer migration preference.
If you ordered WebSphere for z/OS product, as default it would be delivered in a separate SMP/E zone.

Sample zone names z/OS 1.10 base zonesare provided in black italic. It should match your sysres volume name. It’s consisting of Sysplex prefix (MZ), z/OS version and release (1A) and the first sysres volume suffix (A1). If you would like to delete not required JES for example JES3 that can be done running provided post-IPL jobs after you receive the order.

If you ordered WebSphere for z/OS product, as default it would be delivered in a separate SMP/E zone.

NOTE: SMS Volume cannot be zFS01/HFS01 – zFS10/HFS10 or CPACx – CPACx or same prefix as any other VOLSER’s in this order.

Indirect Catalog Option

Table 24 Indirect Catalog Option

Catalog Options / YES/NO
Does this order required Indirect Catalog Referencing? / Yes

NOTE: If indirect catalog referencing is not required (N is chosen) then N must be also entered for static system symbols.

Indirect cataloging allows the system to dynamically resolve volume and device type information for non-VSAM data sets residing on the system residence volume (SYSRES) when accessed through the catalog. This allows you to change the volume serial number or device type of the system residence volume without also having to recatalog the non-VSAM data sets on that volume. Indirect cataloging can be used only for non-VSAM data sets which reside on the SYSRES.

With z/OS, in which many elements and optional features are provided, the space required by the data sets which logically belong on SYSRES may exceed the capacity of a single DASD volume. If some of these data sets are placed on overflow volumes rather than SYSRES, there is no way in the current indirect cataloging support to refer to them indirectly.

SMPE Datasets

SMPE VSAM Datasets

Define Zone CSI Names: Changes to CSI Names if required...

  • Restrictions:
  • Names must be less than or equal to 26 characters
  • You have the option of grouping 2 entries in the same zone by specifying the same zone name, or else the names must be unique for different zones.
  • Two different COBOL’s can't live in the same zone.
  • Subsystems and their related products must live in the same zone

(E.g. GDDM for CICS has to be in the same zone as CICS itself)
