z/OS MVS Planning: Global Resource Serialization
SA23-1389-00

MVS™ services include a rebuild function that allows the global resource serialization coupling facility structure, ISGLOCK, to be resized. The operator can initiate a rebuild of the structure by entering the following command:
SETXCF START,REBUILD,STRNAME=ISGLOCK

An operator's rebuild request results in the structure being recreated on either the same coupling facility or a different coupling facility, depending on the current coupling facility resource management (CFRM) policy for the structure.

In conjunction with the rebuild function, there is a stop rebuild function that allows the termination of an in-process rebuild. If a rebuild of a structure is initiated and the operator wants to terminate it, the operator can enter stop rebuild. Global resource serialization always honors a stop rebuild request and attempts to return to and use, the original lock structure. Any systems that no longer have access to the original structure are terminated with a X'0A3' wait state and a reason code of X'C8' or X'D0'.
