Thanks for the responses to my DR question.Helpful information!
So basically, I have 2 methods of bringing z/VM up at our DR site:
1) Run it under the z/VM Floor System (we use Sungard as our DR service).
2) Bring z/VM up in an LPAR.
To me, option one is probably the BEST and EASIEST to

In our shop, we have Linux guest machines defined as dedicated volumes

Is there an advantage to using one over the other? What about

We're running z/VM 5.3. On our system, we use VM1RES, VM1SPL, and VM1PGx

What do other shops do regarding volsers when migrating? We have 2
