Frequently asked questions

Do I need a sysplex?
For Sysplex Distributor, yes. One block covers the options without a sysplex, but the powerful part lives there.

Do you test an outage?
Yes. Recovery from a system or interface failure is a block with its lab, and that is where you find out whether the configuration holds.

Group size and language?
Closed groups of four to ten people, in Spanish, English or French. We run it with fewer than four as well, though it usually pays to wait and fill the group.
