Coupling facility usage and configuration

The use of sysplex variables in BMC AMI Ops Automation requires access to a coupling facility. The coupling facility must be available to all LPARs in the sysplex where BMC AMI OpsA runs.

Hardware requirements

For high availability, through both planned and unplanned outages, you can define a duplex structure where the primary and secondary copies of the structure reside in different coupling facilities on separate machines. This way, an outage of one coupling facility (or the machine that it runs on) does not affect the availability of sysplex variables.
