Coupling facility LP definition considerations

You can define coupling facility mode for an LP at the Hardware Management Console or Support Element console using the Customize/Delete Activation Profiles task.

You can define coupling facility LPs with shared CPs on the z17. Coupling facility LPs must be defined with at least 1024 MB of central storage. See Table 1.

Coupling facility LPs do not support some LP definition controls typically available to other LPs. For coupling facility LPs, you cannot define:

• Dedicated CPs
• Reserved central storage (coupling facility LPs do not support dynamic storage reconfiguration)
• Cryptos
• Automatic load
• Automatic load address
• Automatic load parameters
