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

In addition to the IEASYSxx GRS= parameter indicating how GRS should initialize the system, the PLEXCFG= parameter allows the installation to indicate the processing environment into which the system is being IPLed. The GRS= system parameter is checked against this parameter to ensure that the system is being initialized properly for the particular environment the installation wants to establish. The relationship of the GRS=STAR parameter to the options that can be specified on the PLEXCFG= parameter is described in Table 1. The PLEXCFG=options and their meanings can be found in z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference.

Table 1. GRS=STAR Relationship to PLEXCFG= Options
PLEXCFG= Initialization Action Taken by MVS™
XCFLOCAL Prompt for NONE
MONOPLEX Prompt for NONE
ANY If XCF is in local mode, then prompt for NONE. If XCF is in sysplex mode, then initialize the system to run as a member of a global resource serialization star complex.
MULTISYSTEM Initialize the system to run as a member of a global resource serialization star complex.
