An enterprise consists of a combination of sysplexes and stand-alone systems.
With some additional system definition, a sysplex master NetView program can
manage systems and sysplexes beyond the scope of the sysplex where it is located.
If a master-capable NetView program within the sysplex assumes the role of sysplex
master, it also becomes an enterprise master, provided that the CNMSTYLE definitions
for the enterprise are synchronized across the master and master-capable NetView
programs within the sysplex. For information about changing CNMSTYLE statements,
see IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS Installation: Getting Started. For information
about the statements, see the IBM Tivoli NetView for z/OS Administration Reference.
The GDPS Active/Active Continuous Availability solution expands the scope of the
enterprise master to enable both discovery manager data and Active/Active data to be
forwarded to an enterprise master. You can have different enterprise masters for
Active/Active data and Discovery Manager data, depending on the NetView configuration.
If you have multiple enterprise masters, they must reside in different sysplexes or
on separate stand-alone systems. For more information, see IBM Tivoli NetView for
z/OS Installation: Configuring the GDPS Active/Active Continuous Availability Solution.
