I'm not sure what ISPF function you're referring to. This happens all the
time in our bronze-plex. Editing SYS1.PARMLIB(ABC) on one system. Cannot
concurrently edit SYS1.PARMLIB(ABC)--different volume--on the other system
because of GRS. It's an inconvenience but not a show stopper. Believe me, we
would not have a bronze-plex if our feet had not been put to the fire with
only months to dodge a pricing penalty in late 2007. I'm still amazed that
we pulled it off in such a short time.
