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 you defined any MSF systems 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.
