Advanced Parallel Sysplex Operations and Recovery Workshop

IBM Training for Advanced Parallel Sysplex Operations and Recovery Workshop

Skill Level: Advanced

Modality: CR - Classroom based Trainng or ILO - Instructor Led Online Class

Duration: 4.5 Day/s

Starting Price: $ - 6,576

Overview:

This course is for operations personnel, tech support staff, and system programmers who are directly involved in the operation, system support, and software support of their Parallel Sysplex.

This course describes advanced operator actions to implement new policies, coupling facilities, structures and sysplex related operational enhancements. It diagnoses problems and demonstrates recovery techniques in these areas. These include:_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_

Identifying HMC problems and recovery, including IPL problems during system and sysplex activation

_x000D_

Recovery with and without SFM policies

_x000D_

Couple data set failures

_x000D_

CF and CF structure failures

_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Labs are provided to submit jobs to format CDS, define policies, start and verify that they are working as desired, identify any policy change pending conditions and correct as needed. Labs take students through the required steps to implement ECS, GRS star, JES checkpoint, Operlog, Logrec, and SM duplexing on the CF. Students will also identify potential problems during the implementation process, identify various CDS and other sysplex related problems. Students will remove a CF from the sysplex as in the case of required maintenance to a CF; add a new CF to the sysplex and perform system and CF failure and recovery scenarios._x000D_ _x000D_ If you are enrolling in a Self Paced Virtual Classroom or Web Based Training course, before you enroll, please review the Self-Paced Virtual Classes and Web-Based Training Classes on our Terms and Conditions page, as well as the system requirements, to ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for this course._x000D_ _x000D_ http://www.ibm.com/training/terms
