Using WLM to manage the performance of your z/OS workloads is of course a huge topic. But we sometimes get asked about the more pedestrian, but equally important, part of how you manage your WLM policies when you have multiple sysplexes. Should each plex have its own separate policy or should you have one policy that you copy between plexes? What are the implications of those different answers? Somewhat related are the issues that arise when you have a sysplex that has asymmetric systems: systems with different access to capacity or maybe even run on quite different hardware. If either of those situations apply to your environment, then this webinar presented by Scott Chapman may give you some new ideas for how to handle those sometimes “sharp” edges of that situation.
