Base Sysplex Wizard: Welcome
Welcome to the base sysplex wizard
The base sysplex wizard allows you to define or update sysplex-wide
definitions.
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, CTC connections for a multisystem sysplex, and GMT offsets for the system. Repeat for each system in the sysplex.
For complete information about planning and using the sysplex,
see
z/OS MVS Setting Up a Sysplex, SA22-7625
Before you use the panels:
-
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.
-
See MVS Setting Up a Sysplex, SA22-7625, for complete information on requirements.
