Requirement Number and Title: PBMO0213-1579M-^V z/OS Sysplex Couple Dataset Consistency Check
Homework Assigned: No
Requirement Category: Core Technology
Current Status: Workgroup Business Availability
Closed Status:
Session:
Requirement Value Category: Continuous Availability / Continuous Operations
Product Affected: z/OS
Problem Description: The integrity of the Sysplex can be comprised if all members of the Sysplex are not pointing to the same copy of the Couple Datasets. This scenario is possible when dynamic volume migration technology is used incorrectly to move active CDS files. See the supporting documentation provided below. This requirement is for z/OS to provide a mechanism that will perform a M-^SCouple Dataset Consistency CheckM-^T to ensure that all members of the Sysplex are always pointing to the same CDS files.
