This class represents administrative (inactive) Coupling Facility Resource Manager (CFRM) policies. CFRM policies are used to control Coupling Facility (CF) and CF structure resources available to a z/OS® Sysplex (Systems Complex). There can be only one active CFRM policy and some number of administrative (inactive) policies.

The module name of the CMPI provider that is registered for a CIM class which is used by the cimprovider command line tool for the administration of CMPI providers is

• IBMzOS_CFRMPolicyProviderModule

The physical name of a CMPI provider’s shared object library as it is stored in the hierarchical file system is

• libcmpiIBMzOS_CFRMPolicyProvider.so

string PolicyText

This property contains the CFRM policy statements that define the Coupling Facilities (CFs) and CF structures that are eligible to be used by programs operating in the Sysplex when this policy is activated (started) via the StartPolicy() method.

The CFRM policy, as defined by its PolicyText, governs many aspects of the use of CFs and CF structures by the Sysplex. For example, it governs CF structure placement, fixing, recovery and availability considerations.

StartPolicy()

Starts a policy.

StopPolicy()

Stops a policy.
