Hi Paul, I don't remember the exact thing here but there's a way to flatten PDS files to a PS. It'll add things like ./ADDMEMBER or something at the top of each member's content. Then, the PS can be used to recreate a PDS. Don't know about PDSEs... - KB --- Original Message --- On Thu

Not 100% sure, but based on this, likely not. In order for TCP/IP to communicate DVIPA status among LPARs, TCP/IP uses an XCF group called EZBTCPCS. There's no mention of a coupling facility structure as a requirement. Mark Jacobs Sent from ProtonMail, Swiss-based encrypted email. GPG Publi

Looking at implementing a basic sysplex where an application will be able to run on two different LPARs but only on one instance at a time. Since it's difficult to change the advertised IP for the application/LPAR we plan to use DVIPA. Is this possible without a coupling facility and only the TCP
