Parallel Sysplex Implementation Workshop

Day 1 Welcome Unit 1: Sysplex: Overview and definitions Lab 2: Building two stand-alone systems Day 2 Unit 2: Base sysplex definitions and commands Unit 3: Hardware Management Console Lab 3: Building a two system base sysplex Day 3 Unit 4: Base sysplex migration to Parallel Sysplex Unit 5: Coupling Facility architecture Lab 4: Base to Parallel Sysplex migration dynamically Lab 5: Dynamically add a third CF to sysplex Day 4 Lab 6: Implementation of CF exploiters Day 5 Unit 6: Sysplex operation and recovery Lab recovery

This course is developed for systems programmers working on an implementation of a Parallel Sysplex. It covers the details of z/OS and z/OS-related products and subsystems exploiting the Parallel Sysplex components. It is focused on the resource sharing side. Objective - Understand the steps to implement a basic and full Parallel Sysplex - Implement a basic sysplex - Implement a multisystem base sysplex - Implement the connectivity for a Parallel Sysplex - Implement the features and functions of a Parallel Sysplex - Implement the coupling facility key exploiters - Understand the different recovery scenarios

- Installing and testing z/OS and related products - HCD coding - PARMLIB settings
