GDPS has about as much to do with 'parallel sysplex' as TSO has to do with 'time sharing'. For us, GDPS automates disaster recovery. Before GDPS, we had to do a lot of manual procedures that GDPS performs without the need for fingers on a keyboard. Included in our DR environment is one monoplex LPAR that runs TPX. This LPAR has no need for sysplex resources but has to run in DR, which we view as business resumption after a catastrophic data center failure. RTO is important, but a few hours is far preferable to the alternative abyss.

What would be the point? I could buy a Ferrari and remove the wheels.. But it wouldn't be much fun...and would be a very expensive chair. Seems more like the person is looking for parallel sysplex / sysplex-in-a-box plus automation.
