Combining Two Non-SSI z/VM Systems to Create a z/VM SSI Cluster
This procedure outlines the process for combining two existing non-SSI z/VM® systems to create a z/VM SSI cluster with two members. The process consists of converting one of the systems to cluster member 1, cloning member 1 to create member 2, and moving workload from the other non-SSI system into the cluster.
Before you begin the procedure, see Requirements and Preparations.
In this procedure you will complete the following tasks:
- Task 1: Convert System A to Member 1
- Task 2: Install Program Products and Vendor Products on Member 1
- Task 3: Clone Member 1 to Create Member 2
- Task 4: Replicate System B Configuration Definitions in the SSI Cluster
- Task 5: Re-IPL Member 2
- Task 6: Move System B Workload into the SSI Cluster
- Task 7: Test and Verify
- Task 8: Shut Down System B
