To provide for recovery procedures, you should leave one system
or system group name slots empty in the corresponding function panels.
In case a problem occurs requiring that a system that is defined within
the configuration as part of a system group be specified by its specific
name (such as, hardware failure), you can add it without disrupting
the rest of the system group of SMS complex.
You can initiate recovery with the following steps:
- Use the ISMF CDS Application to add the system name to the SMS
configuration.
- Activate the configuration, either from ISMF or from the operator
console.
- Use the VARY SMS operator command to make any necessary changes
to the configuration.
- Remove the system name from the configuration and reactivate the
configuration once the problem has been corrected.
