Configure HA for connections to IBM z/OS Connect

This scenario shows you how to implement high availability for inbound requests to two IBM z/OS Connect servers that use port sharing and shared configuration data.

This scenario is built on the Create a server and connect to a System of record (SoR) scenario and implements high availability for IBM z/OS Connect by adding a second IBM z/OS Connect server. To simplify the configuration, the scenario describes how to define a configuration that is used by both servers.

This example scenario uses a single z/OS LPAR. If you are using a Sysplex, you can additionally configure Sysplex distributor to distribute the workload to the shared TCP/IP ports on each LPAR. For more information, see Connectivity for high availability
