Displaying active sysplex members

Before you can make any change to a configuration in a sysplex, you must display the Active Sysplex Member List. From this list you then select different actions.

1. On the Primary Task Selection panel, select Activate or process configuration data, and from the resulting panel select Activate configuration sysplex-wide. HCD displays the Active Sysplex Member List.

   ******************************* Bottom of data ********************************

   You can see the system names, and the processor IDs and partition names associated with the system names. You can also see the IODF to be activated, the name of the sysplex, the active IODFs, the configuration IDs and EDT IDs used for IPL, and the Activate status, which is empty initially.

   HCD requests the information from the sysplex couple data set and the HSA of every CPC and displays it in a formatted list.

   Refreshing the Active Sysplex Member List: 

   The Active Sysplex Member List will be refreshed whenever you press the Enter key. If a system joins the sysplex, it will be added to the list in alphabetical order. If a system leaves the sysplex, it will be deleted from the list.

   Empty Processor ID: 

   The entry in the Processor ID column is empty when the operating system runs as a VM guest.

   This does not mean that you cannot initiate an activation request for that system. It means that you have to specify the correct processor ID later on by yourself, as required.

2. Select a system name and specify View the configuration status from the context menu (or select action code  v ) to see the following information:
   • information about the currently active hardware configuration token stored in the HSA
   • information about the free space in the HSA.
