The embodiments relate generally to data processing, and more specifically to accessing and storing data in a Parallel Sysplex multi-system.
Parallel Sysplex multi-systems use a number of system processors in communication that read and write data stored in a data storage system (i.e., memory devices). The multiple system processors offer system redundancy such that if a particular system processor fails, other system processors may perform similar tasks.
The data is organized hierarchically in file systems that are accessible by the system processors. The file systems are organized and mounted to a system hierarchy tree and are accessible by the system processors. The system hierarchy tree includes a sysplex root file system that is mounted at the base of the system hierarchy tree. A failure of the sysplex root file system may render any file systems mounted to the system hierarchy tree inaccessible.
