A successful parallel sysplex is one that addresses the operability, availability and recoverability of a multi-z/OS environment, within available resources, while operating with "best practices" - resulting in optimum performance. These "best practices" should periodically be reviewed to ensure the parallel sysplex is operating with minimal overhead while providing peak performance and optimal return, given the resources available.
In this session, the speaker will present his experiences in setting up and tuning a Parallel Sysplex while at Verizon as well as during his review of client environments while serving as a consultant for StreamFoundry. Topics covered will include setting up Coupling Facilities, Couple Data Sets, CF Structures, XCF Signaling, System Logger, parameters relating to availability along with recommended RMF reports.
