Multiple z/OS systems

Multiple z/OS® systems can operate in a networked environment that is in the same management domain as each of the participating systems. Should an installation choose to operate in this way, the installation must ensure that a consistent security policy is applied on all cooperating systems.

Restriction: The installation cannot use the RACF® remote sharing facility (RRSF), except in local mode.

Multiple z/OS systems can run forming a parallel sysplex. Both basic and parallel sysplexes are allowed. For information about setting up a sysplex, see z/OS MVS Setting Up a Sysplex.
