Adding MVS systems to a sysplex

This topic describes how various sysplex configurations are set up. It includes the purpose and required parameters for each configuration and diagrams for many of the configurations. The following configurations are covered:

XCF-local mode configuration
Single-system sysplex configuration
Multisystem sysplex configuration without an existing global resource serialization complex
Multisystem sysplex configuration with an global resource serialization complex
Multisystem sysplex configuration on one processor under z/VM
Multisystem sysplex configuration on PR/SM
Multisystem sysplex configuration with a coupling facility
Multisystem sysplex configuration of greater than eight systems.

Because there are times when you need to remove a system from a sysplex, you can find information on how to do that in Removing a system from the sysplex.
