<snip> Sorry, but I don't see sysplex as being "tightly coupled." At least that's not the definition I learned 30 years ago. In many ways, sysplex is the z/OS implementation of High Availability. Being a specialized implementation, it could do some nice magic with coupling facilities and so on. It's also extremely expensive, as we've all come to expect from the industries pricing models for the mainframe. </snip>
Wrong. Basic sysplex is the cost of 2 ESCON/FICON cables and the Channel Adapters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
