A sysplex is a way for z/OS and subsystems to "talk" to each other to
coordinate changes and access to resources. For example, RACF is the
security system on the z. I have a single database which contains all
users and all access definations for all systems. Every LPAR can safely
and directly do I/O to that database on DASD because they "talk" via
sysplex communications to "enqueue" access as needed for updating.

John:

Please review the three options "Comparison of logical replication, switched disks, and cross-site mirroring" from here:

Do any of those seem to come close to how you think of 'sysplex'?

Note the left-side navigation pane to see where this positions you in the V5R4 Info Center. The overall discussion topic area might lead to other thoughts.
