OS/390 MVS Multisystem Consoles Implementing MVS Sysplex Operations

Redbooks logo

An IBM Redbooks publication

Abstract

This redbook contains planning information for MVS operations. It
describes how to define and use multiple console support (MCS) consoles
and extended MCS consoles and how to manage messages and commands in an
MVS single-system or sysplex environment.

The introduction of a sysplex into the MVS environment provides a
simpler and more flexible way to operate consoles in a multisystem
environment. Many changes were introduced into multiple console
support (MCS) to support the sysplex environment. These changes began
with MVS/ESA Version 4 and have continued with each new MVS release.
This document describes all of these changes through the MVS/ESA Version
5.2 release. This publication assumes that you have the potential or
desire to run more than one system and you are going to implement a
sysplex, where the ultimate goal is to run multiple systems as though
they were one system.

This document was written for customers and IBM technical personnel
working in support of MVS/ESA sysplex and console environment. Some
knowledge of the MVS sysplex environment is assumed.
