Capacity Provisioning Domain

The domain consists of:

Observed systems that can trigger provisioning, as described in Observed systems, and where the number of logical processors can be monitored, and
>Central Processor Complexes (CPCs) on which the configuration can be changed, as described in CPCs.

Capacity Provisioning can maintain the configuration of more than one domain for different purposes. Each domain is identified by a unique name.

An example of a domain is:

Figure showing an example of a Capacity Provisioning domain.

Figure 1 shows an example domain configuration with two CPCs being managed and four systems being observed. Capacity Provisioning can be performed for one or more CPCs. If a sysplex consists of multiple systems, all observed systems of this sysplex must belong to the same Capacity Provisioning domain. One CPC cannot belong to multiple domains. Each system in the domain configuration is identified by its z/OS® system name and the name of the sysplex to which it belongs. Systems keep the same name even if they move across LPARs and CPCs.
