Specifying the cluster data set

XRC uses the cluster data set to keep track of master session to which all SDMs in a cluster session are coupled. The cluster data set must be accessible from, and cataloged on, the host on which the cluster session is to be active and all recovery hosts for all SDMs in the cluster session.

XRC uses the cluster data set name in the following form:
Where:
ClusterName
Specifies the value specified on XRC PARMLIB parameter of ClusterName of the STARTUP category, or defaults to the host system name. The name can be up to eight characters long. The name you specify for the ClusterName cannot be the same as any XRC session_id.
mhlq
Specifies the master data set high-level qualifier that is used to access the master data set. The mhlq must be one to eight characters, and can be any name acceptable to TSO.
The following name is an example of a cluster data set name:
SYS1.XCOPY.SYSTEM1.CLUSTER
