In order to configure your RRSF network, you need to plan for the type of network you desire. This planning phase requires that you make certain decisions regarding the nodes you plan to have participate in the network. After you decide which nodes will participate in the network, the following worksheet will help you gather the appropriate information for the RACF® parameter library and to build the desired network. The worksheet has been designed for you to make copies of it. It is suggested that you use those copies to mark your installation-specific information regarding the RRSF network you wish to configure.

You will need to complete one RRSF Node Configuration Worksheet for each single-system node in your RRSF network, and one for each system in each multisystem node in your RRSF network. At the bottom of the node's worksheet, you can identify which remote nodes will be enabled to communicate with this node and whether the connection will be operative or dormant. You will need to retrieve the necessary information from the remote node's RRSF Node Configuration Worksheet to complete the TARGET commands for each remote node.

A task-oriented scenario also follows to help reinforce the steps necessary to properly configure your network.
