INGPLEX SYStem

Purpose

The SYSTEM function displays the target sysplex name, its GRS mode and its member systems.

Example

Figure 1 shows an example of the INGPLEX SYSTEM command dialog panel.

The following command codes are available:

C
Displays the online or offline status of one or more processors and any vector facilities, or ICRFs attached to those processors.
E
Displays the timer synchronization mode and ETR ports.
I
Displays IPL information.
O
Displays IOS-related configuration information.
S
Displays the status of blocks of central (real) storage frames.
B
Displays the status of System Recovery Boost.
D
Displays the device number of one or more inbound or outbound signalling paths that XCF can use and information about inbound or outbound XCF signalling paths to this system.
T
Displays detailed signalling path information for all coupling facility structures.

The following information is displayed:

  • The Sysplex field shows the name of the sysplex.
  • The GRS Mode field shows the GRS mode of the target system. The mode can be either STAR or RING.
  • The Cmd field allows you to specify command codes. To use one of the command codes shown, type the appropriate letter next to the resource name, and press Enter.
  • The System column shows the name of the system.
  • The Status column shows the status of the system.
  • The Boost column displays the state of System Recovery Boost.
  • The Monitor Timestamp column shows the last time stamp recorded for status monitoring on this system.
  • The INTERVAL column shows the system failure detection interval in seconds. This interval is the time XCF allows to elapse without a status update before assuming that the system failed.
The last three columns contain configuration data of the SFM policy (if applicable).
  • The SSUM Action field shows the SSUM action. It can be one of the following:
    • ISOLATE
    • DEACTIVATE
    • RESET
    • PROMPT
    • N/A
  • The SSUM TIME field shows the SSUM interval as specified in the current SFM policy.
  • The SSUM WEIGHT field shows the SSUM weight specified in the current SFM policy. This value is used in sysplex reconfigurations after a signalling connectivity failure.
Use the PF11 key to view WLM-related information to the right, as shown in Figure 2.

  • The Timestamp field shows the last time stamp when capacity data was queried from WLM.
  • The SUs Total field shows the number of available SUs.
  • The SUs Used field shows the number of used SUs in the last 10 minutes.
  • The Resource field shows the number of SU-consuming resources with a desired state of AVAILABLE.
  • The SUs Exp. field shows the number of free SUs, taking into account the resources that SA z/OS® is about to start or stop.
