Enhance testing capability of SYSPLEX RESOURCES

We have a test environment for GDPS/Metro that is contained within one physical disk subsystem. The TEST=YES option is used in the GEOPARM to tolerate this setup.

We would like this TEST=YES feature extended to accommodate the SYSPLEX RESOURCE MANAGEMENT couple datasets definitions. Today GDPS will not allow RS2/SITE2 couple datasets to be specified, if they reside on the same disk SSID as the SITE1/RS1 couple datasets.

    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it won?t be pursued within our planning cycle.

    Sounds like a good idea to keep the cost of infrastructure down.

    We currently have a 4-site test environment, but are looking to reduce that to 2 physical boxes, so anything to enhance functionality is welcomed. Medium priority

    We would consider this a low priority as we currently have more than 1 DASD box for the couple datasets.

    Medium. We also maintain test environments and need to run scripts that reflect our productions scripts. They should be as close to production as possible.

    We need to be able to test these scripts before doing our disaster test.

    in favor of any improved testing that can be allowed in a "reduced resources" test environment. I rate this a "medium" importance.
