The whole combined versus separate TEST and PROD LPARs was interesting. I can't imagine not having them separate (with shared DASD for at least the load libraries), but then it's just what I'm used to.
So here's a question... Anyone out there have DEV/TEST not only in a separate LPAR, or even a separate machine, but in a separate data center? We have our primary data center in Lakewood, CO (near Denver) and our "alternate data center" (DR site) in Scottsdale, AZ. So about 1000 miles apart. Management has the idea that we should move the applications development LPAR to the ADC. As an applications developer this makes me more than a bit nervous. Does anyone do this? Is a GDPS essentially required to make this workable? We currently do DASD replication to our ADC using DS8100s. One other thing I'm concerned about is TN3270 response time. I feel that logging on to work from home is too slow, and I only live 8 miles away.
