Support is needed such that test and production WebSphere
Application Server (WAS) environments (i.e., multiple WAS
nodes) can exist in one SYSPLEX.

Server names must be unique within a SYSPLEX even if defined
to distinct WAS nodes.
Problem conclusion
The setup of multiple nodes in one SYSPLEX is documented
temporarily in a separate document (later in WebSphere
for z/OS: Installation and Customization), even though the
recommended setup is to have production and test environments
separated in independent SYSPLEX setups.

A mechanism to partially enforce unique server names is provided
Server names are synchronized during System Management (SM)
server instance startup using ENQs.

For each server name that is not unique (i.e., used for test
and production node) an warning message (activity log) will be
issued to indicate the potential problem.

Limitations of this approach:
1. If on one node (e.g. the production node) the SM server
instance holding the ENQs for generic servers is stopped, then
uniqueness of server names cannot be ensured until a SM server
instance on that node is restarted to pickup the enqueues again.
2. For servers added after the WAS node startup, uniqueness of
server names cannot be ensured.

Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390:  Multiple Nodes in a
