Other than the virtual nature of the disks and that they aren't hardwired to the server, I don't see any reason to handle them differently than in the x86 world. They're no more dangerous on z/VM than they are anywhere else.. Any of the reasons an LVM might 'go bad' on x86 applies to z/VM as well (and vice-a-versa).. Admittedly - it's probably easier to yank a disk away from a guest than it is to yank a hard drive out of an x86 server :-)
A cure idea I came across on Intellish hardware was to create a _RAID_ group including a firewire drive. To backup system, insert drive sync remove drive Those are pretty easy to remove (and it's an idea that might be useful on mainframes too). Maybe using a virtual firewire drive:-) -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
