Abstract

The Parallel Sysplex Configuration redbooks consist of three volumes that help

you design and configure a Parallel Sysplex. These redbooks assist you in

making the key hardware and software choices necessary to meet your

performance, capacity, and availability requirements.

In addition to discussing many sysplex-related topics not documented elsewhere,

these books contain, for the IBM large systems customer, practical information

that has been collected from many sources and brought together into a single,

comprehensive reference.

The redbooks provide rules of thumb for configuring a Parallel Sysplex. They

discuss central processing complex sizing, CF sizing, the Sysplex Timer,

connectivity guidelines, the implications of Parallel Sysplex for IBM software

such as OS/390 V2R8 and related subsystem configurations, and useful tools and

services. Network, systems management and availability considerations are

also discussed.

These redbooks are a starting point for those involved in designing and

configuring a Parallel Sysplex. They also may be used by those already having

a Parallel Sysplex when further exploitation is being considered. The books

refer to other relevant publications that cover specific areas in more depth.

This IBM Redbooks publication replaces Parallel Sysplex Config.: Connectivity - SG24-2077-00
