We snap our entire production environment and can IPL immediately after the snap. Seperate LPAR definition with different IPL address and parmlibs for the test environment are maintained from production environment and available for IPL immediately after snap. Its all STK V2X hardware. We also take another, seperate, snap instance for BCP backups. Again, the backups to tape start immediately after the snaps are complete.
