Timothy, I saw your post talking about having an A01 warm standby with Z03 CBU. That's similar to what my management is thinking, but without the warm standby. We have EMC storage and it we do synchronous mirroring from our main site to our DR site. Since that is all done via the EMC control units we don't need to have the system up for it. We do want to go to the DR site as needed to do minimal "connectivity" tests. For those we plan to just IPL the A01 system. Then, when we need to do "serious" DR tests we would activate the Z03 and IPL that. Basically, the whole purpose of this exercise is to determine how long it would take to be up and ready for those minimal "connectivity" tests.
