Sysplex Considerations

The sysplex (system complex) is a cross‑system coupling facility (XCF) as a means of running multiple CPUs from one console. It is a method of communication between systems in a multiple processor environment that improves global resource serialization. If a console is part of a sysplex, the Operator Console Display (1.4) shows the ID of the sysplex a console is in.
