Operating the star complex

Because the systems in a star complex must match the systems in the sysplex, building and operating the complex is straightforward. If you implement your design properly there is little need for operator intervention. However, the procedures for operating the systems in the complex are important.

As you read this topic and you develop your operator procedures, consult the following books:

For sysplex operations involving the coupling facility, see z/OS MVS Setting Up a Sysplex.
For exact text and responses to global resource serialization messages, see z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 9 (IGF-IWM), which contains a complete description of how to use the DISPLAY command with global resource serialization.
For recovery procedures, see Diagnosing global resource serialization.
