Parallel Sysplex Wizard: Welcome
Welcome to the Parallel Sysplex wizard
The Parallel Sysplex wizard allows you to define or update sysplex-wide
definitions. If you already have CFRM policies, you will
see them in the drop down list when you click Next. If you make changes to coupling facility or structure information during the customization, you will be
prompted to provide a CFRM policy name to store your changes when you click Finish.
When you have completed the wizard, go to the msys workplace and click on a system in the sysplex. From Operating System Settings you can define consoles, and GMT offsets for the system. Repeat for each system in the sysplex.
For complete information about planning and using the Parallel Sysplex,

Ensure that you have used the Hardware Configuration Dialog (HCD) to define
all hardware (processors, Sysplex Timers, consoles, and so forth)
in your Parallel Sysplex.
-
Ensure that any RACF users or groupnames you plan to use for the Parallel
Sysplex are defined to RACF.
