Course Description

Overview

This course is designed so that students can learn how z/OS systems operate in a Parallel Sysplex environment through discussion topics and hands-on lab exercises. Students learn problem determination skills, practice enhanced sysplex operations, including management of the coupling facility (CF), and use recovery capabilities provided by the System z servers.

The course consists of six units and 12 hands-on lab exercises.

  • Describe CF operation; how and when the CFCC is loaded on a System z LPAR, the various CF link definitions and how they can be used
  • Identify CF structure types, definition and allocation process, and how they are used in the CF
  • Use z/OS MVS commands to display structure status
  • Use CF operator commands to display and change the operational status of a CF
  • Describe and demonstrate recommended procedures and typical z/OS MVS commands to manage sysplex members, coupling facilities, structure rebuilds, and couple data sets
  • Identify potential problems during system removal, CF structure or CDS usage, and determine appropriate operator action
  • Explain the differences and benefits of having stand-alone CF and internal CF configurations
  • Describe the purpose and use of Sysplex Failure Manager and how SFM can be used to address sympathy sickness
  • Explain why time synchronization is important and how server time protocol is used
