Hello Timothy ! Your reaction is acceptable.
As I have mentioned earlier in this dialog, this is just one of many options we may have at our DR site. If it happens to work and is the fastest option at that particular time, that is the option that WE will use. We have a couple of other "guaranteed" options, including the least preferred of typing in bootstrap JCL to load from tape.
I realize some individuals prefer to have a rigid repeatable procedure. We prefer to complete the exercise in minimum time with maximum flexibility. Regards Lorne Timothy Sipples wrote:
I think the general reaction relates to the fact that you're talking about disaster recovery (DR). In a DR situation it's particularly important to rely only on simple, repeatable procedures that work in as many situations as possible. So, in this case, what happens when (it's not if) you have to recover to a site that doesn't have your customized OS/2-based HMC? That's something to think about.
