Follow this procedure to activate automatic restart management (ARM).
You must have access to the couple dataset format utility, IXCL1DSU, in SYS1.MIGLIB. If you plan to modify the automatic restart management policy, you must have access to the administrative data utility, IXCMIAPU, also in SYS1.MIGLIB, and have UPDATE authorization to the RACF® FACILITY class MVSADMIN.XCF.ARM. To start a policy, you must have READ authorization to the RACF FACILITY class MVSADMIN.XCF.ARM.
You are not required to change the automatic restart management policy. However, you will have to modify this policy if you want to create custom restart groups. For instance, it is not required or recommended that you start the node agent or deployment manager servers on another system. These servers will never have any transactional recovery to perform. Therefore, they should only be set up for restart-in-place. For complete information about how to modify the policies, see z/OS MVS Setting Up a Sysplex (SA22-7625).
The following procedure is intended to give you enough information to get automatic restart management running. Defining automatic restart management policies would require the z/OS manual mentioned above.
You are done when the SETXCF commands complete successfully.
