Restart z/OSMF processing on another system in the same sysplex

If the z/OSMF user directory is mounted at a shared mount point, as described in “Configuring z/OSMF for availability,” moving z/OSMF processing to another system in the same sysplex requires only that you restart the server on the other system.

Example:
  1. Stop the z/OSMF server on System A:
    STOP IZUANG1
    STOP IZUSVR1
  2. Start the z/OSMF server on System B. When starting the server on the new system, specify the user directory on the start command.
    START IZUANG1
    START IZUSVR1,USERDIR='/var/zosmf'

Configuration settings for z/OSMF are specified through the IZUPRMxx parmlib member. One or more members can be used in combination, and different combinations of members can be used on each system in the sysplex. If the same statement is used more than once, either in the same member or in multiple members, the value from the last occurrence is used. The IZUPRMxx members are specified on the START command for the z/OSMF server.

Examples:
  • Start the z/OSMF server on System C with member IZUPRM00 concatenated with member IZUPRM01.
    START IZUANG1
    START IZUSVR1,IZUPRM=(00,01) 
  • Start the z/OSMF server on System D with member IZUPRM00 concatenated with member IZUPRM02.
    START IZUANG1
    START IZUSVR1,IZUPRM=(00,02)
