Production
Coupling
Facility
Configuration
IBM
recommends
that
you
run
your
production
applications
on
a
sysplex
that
uses
a
production
coupling
facility
configuration.
A
properly
configured
production
coupling
facility
configuration
can
reduce
the
potential
for
extended
recovery
times,
achieve
acceptable
performance,
and
maximize
connectivity
to
the
coupling
facility.
For
production
configurations,
the
use
of
one
or
more
dedicated
Coupling
Facility
engines
is
recommended;
shared
Coupling
Facility
engines
are
strongly
discouraged.

The

sharing
(IMS

,

production
parallel
sysplex
is
a
coupling
facility
configuration
that
consists
of:
v
One
stand-alone
coupling
facility
running
as
a
single
dedicated
coupling
facility
LP
to
provide
large
capacity
shared
storage
and
maximum
coupling
facility
channel
connectivity
(up
to
64
coupling
facility
channels).
v
A
second
stand-alone
coupling
facility,
similarly
configured,
to
reduce
the
possibility
of
a
single
point
of
failure.
A
second
stand-alone
coupling
facility
improves
application
subsystem
availability
by
allowing
fast
recovery
from
one
coupling
facility
to
the
other
in
the
event
of
a
coupling
facility
outage.
Alternatively,
an
Internal
Coupling
Facility
(ICF)
feature
can
be
used
to
provide
the
backup
coupling
facility.
See
Notes:
1.
The
backup
CF
in
the
configuration
must
provide
sufficient
storage,
processor,
and
connectivity
resources
to
assume
the
workload
of
the
other
production
CF
in
the
event
of
its
failure.
2.
With
the
use
of
System-Managed
CF
Structure
Duplexing
for
all
relevant
data
sharing
structures,
it
is
possible
to
have
a
production
data-sharing
configuration
that
uses
only
2
or
more
internal
CFs,
because
duplexing
avoids
the
“single
point
of
failure”
failure-isolation
issue.

production
level
parallel

is
a
coupling
facility
configuration
that
consists
of:
v
One
dedicated

provides
reduced
cost
of

without
compromising
sysplex
availability
or
integrity.
v
A

reduces
the

A

to

of

in
the
event
of
its

These
configurations
offer
the
best
performance,
the
best

and
serviceability
(RAS).
