Overview

A system must be connected to an ARM couple dataset with an active automatic restart management policy.

Procedure

To activate ARM, do the following:

1. Allocate and format an ARM couple dataset.

   A sample job can be found in member ARMCOUPL in the BSA.SAMPLIB.

2. Activate the ARM couple dataset using one of the following methods:
   • At IPL, via an entry in member COUPLExx
   • Dynamically, via the following operator console command:

     SETXCF COUPLE,TYPE=ARM,PCOUPLE=dsname

3. Define an ARM policy.

   A sample job can be found in member ARMPOLIC in the BSA.SAMPLIB.

4. Activate the ARM policy using the following operator console command:

   SETXCF START POLICY,TYPE=ARM,POLNAME=policyname
