Hello,

I have a question on switching XCF data sets.

We currently have  5 systems in a SYSPLEX. We are looking to add more.
Our current XCF data sets were defined to hold 5 systems, using the following 
definitions:

//STEP1    EXEC PGM=IXCL1DSU                    
//SYSPRINT DD   SYSOUT=*                        
//SYSIN    DD   *                               
   DEFINEDS SYSPLEX(TOPLX1C)                                       
         DSN(SYS1.TOPLX1C.XCFCDS71) VOLSER(T1CX01)              
         MAXSYSTEM(5)                                          
         CATALOG                                                
     DATA TYPE(SYSPLEX)                                         
          ITEM NAME(GROUP) NUMBER(60)                           
          ITEM NAME(MEMBER) NUMBER(50)                          
          ITEM NAME(GRS) NUMBER(1)                              
   DEFINEDS SYSPLEX(TOPLX1C)                                     
         DSN(SYS1.TOPLX1C.XCFCDS72) VOLSER(T1CX02)            
         MAXSYSTEM(5)                                        
         CATALOG                                              
     DATA TYPE(SYSPLEX)                                       
          ITEM NAME(GROUP) NUMBER(60)                         
          ITEM NAME(MEMBER) NUMBER(50)                        
          ITEM NAME(GRS) NUMBER(1)       

We will create new data sets using the following parameter:
   MAXSYSTEM(10)    

The following is our definition in SYS1.PARMLIB(COUPLE00)

COUPLE SYSPLEX(TOPLX1C)                                   
       PCOUPLE(SYS1.TOPLX1C.XCFCDS71,T1CX01)              
       ACOUPLE(SYS1.TOPLX1C.XCFCDS72,T1CX02)              
       RETRY(100)                                         
       MAXMSG(1000)                                       
       CFRMPOL(TESTPLX5)                                  

My question is, can I switch the current systems to use the new data sets, 
without shutting down any systems?
If so what are the commands?
I was looking at the SETXCF command, but it does not seem to do what I am 
looking for.

If we have to shut down the systems, do we have to shut all 5 down at the same 
time?       

Any input is appreciated.
