The Remote System List

When you select option 0 from the OPS/MVS Rules panel, the following Remote System List window appears:

OPS/MVS Rules------ S034 -- O P S V I E W ------ Subsystem OPSS
OPTION  ===>
   0  AOF System   - Select Target MSF System ( *local*  )
   +-----------------------------------------------------+
   | S034  --- Remote System List ---    ROW 1 OF 7      | brary
   | COMMAND ===>                 SCROLL ===> PAGE       |
   |    Use S in the SEL column to select a system       |
   |    or enter END command to return.                  |
   |                                                     |

   |      Remote    MSIA      ACTIVE                     |
   |      Remote    MSIF      FAILED                     |
   |      Remote    MSIK      FAILED                     |
   |      Remote    MSIR      FAILED                     |
   +-----------------------------------------------------+

The Remote System List window lists all remote systems that have been defined to the Multi-System Facility. For each system, the window shows a system name, status, and action (if any). The Ident field indicates the type of the system (local, meaning the named system is the one to which you are logged on; or remote, meaning a cross-system connection exists).

If any MSF systems were defined with aliases, the Remote System List window will contain one or two Alias fields, depending on the following:

• If no system has more than one alias defined, one Alias field will be displayed.
• If any system has two or more aliases defined, two Alias fields will be displayed. At most, the first two aliases will be displayed for any system.

The following example panel shows a system where each MSF node has no or one alias defined:

You can define and activate MSF systems in either of these ways:

• Use OPSVIEW option 4.2. See How to Control the Multi-System Facility (Option 4.2) in this chapter.
• Use the ADDRESS OPSCTL MSF host command environment. For details, see the Command and Function Reference.
