Setting up WebSphere Application Server for z/OS on multiple systems in a sysplex

Before you begin

A typical WebSphere Application Server for z/OS base run-time includes a cell with a location service daemon (BBODMNB) and one node which includes an Application Server (server1) with a controller and any number of servants. Once you have installed the Application Server run-time and associated business application servers on a monoplex, you can migrate the run-time and associated application servers to a sysplex configuration.

Why and when to perform this task

The benefits of migrating to a sysplex include:

The following table shows the subtasks and associated procedures for enabling WebSphere Application Server for z/OS in a sysplex.
