CAVARSRV Address Space Variable Synchronization

The CAVARSRV address space is required to support sysplex scope variables. Every active CAVARSRV member in a sysplex hosts the exact same copy of sysplex variables.

When a new CAVARSRV member joins the group, it automatically detects if there are any other active members in the group. If there is another active member, the new CAVARSRV member synchronizes with an existing member. This action provides a valid copy of all sysplex scope variables. If there is no other active member, no variable synchronization takes place.

CAVARSRV sysplex variables are preserved in a sysplex as long as one CAVARSRV address space remains continuously active.
