Last updated Friday, 21 July 2017If you have more than one MVS™ image, consider how you will use the file system. You can share files in a file system with different members of a sysplex. The file system is mounted on one MVS image and requests to the file are routed to the owning system using XCF from systems which do not have it mounted.
This is part of the larger task of customizing your z/OS® environment.
Moving a broker from one image to another is straightforward and the files can be shared.
However, there is a performance overhead when using files shared between images in a file system because the data flows through the Coupling Facility (this is true for trace and other diagnostic data).
For further information on mounting file systems and allocating space, including performance considerations, see Mounting file systems
For details of the disk space required, see Disk space requirements on z/OS.
