Thank you Eileen for mentioning that (D/R approach) When we moved our Datacenter from a leased building to a self-owned building (and admittedly rushed by a water main break under the leased building) - we treated the move (with the exceptions, as Eileen noted) as a "controlled" disaster - we shut off all online access and allowed existing batch to finish on the old system - shut down all onlines (IDMS DB2 CICS) - I am pretty sure we used virtual tapes to transport data (had we it to do over again, I think we would PPRC the data) and then brought everything up as we would in a D/R situation (although there was no uncommitted work to roll out) - it really worked quite will

New lines and network definitions may have to be installed for SNA and IP addresses changed for web applications. Similar to doing a DR test at remote sites. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Donnelly, John P Sent: Friday, May 20, 2011 1:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Moving to an outsourcing datacenter Simple answer; disk and tape(storage) replication for all operating platforms. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lindy Mayfield Sent: Friday, May 20, 2011 9:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Moving to an outsourcing datacenter When a company decides to move their datacenter to the datacenter of an outsourcing company, how do they do it?
