sys.ZOS.Sysplex
A sysplex is a set of z/OS® systems that communicate and cooperate with each other through specific multisystem hardware components and software services to process customer workloads.
Not all members of the sysplex need to be operating all the time. Systems can join, leave, and rejoin the sysplex at any time. A z/OS system cannot concurrently join multiple sysplexes, but it can leave one sysplex and join another. It is also possible for a sysplex to only ever have the one z/OS system as a member. This situation is referred to as a monoplex system, where data can still be shared between subsystems that execute on the same system.
It is also possible for a z/OS system to run stand-alone in XCF-local mode (non-sysplex), which differs from monoplex in that data sharing between subsystems does not use a coupling facility.
