Production coupling facility configuration

It is recommended that you run your production applications on a sysplex that uses a production coupling facility configuration.

A properly configured production coupling facility configuration can reduce the potential for extended recovery times, achieve acceptable performance, and maximize connectivity to the coupling facility.

For production configurations, the use of one or more dedicated Coupling Facility engines is recommended for best performance; shared Coupling Facility engines now perform reasonably well when not under weighted. For more information, see Coupling facility LPs using dedicated Internal Coupling Facility (ICF) processors.
