Starting subordinate Repository Servers

To start a Repository Server (RS) as a subordinate, you only need to define it with the same z/OS® cross-system coupling facility group as an RS that is already running.

However, all parameters in the FRPCFG member for both the master RS and its subordinates should be the same, except for the RSNAME= parameter. RSNAME= should be unique for each RS, including the master RS and its subordinates. RSNAME= is used to register to the Structured Call Interface (SCI) if IMSPLEX() is specified. SCI requires unique names for the clients.

Make sure that the subordinate RSs use the same RS catalog repository data sets as the master RS.
