We were early users of XRC circa 1998. In our first few tests, we had lingering problems because, with mirrored CFRM data set, the newly IPLed systems could never get over the loss of the two CFs left back in the smoking hole. They were convinced that some magic would bring the lost CFs back to life. I put the problem to Curt Jews at SHARE--in SCIDS of course--and he recommended *not* to mirror the CFRM data set. Voila.
The crux is to IPL the first system with an empty, freshly formatted CFRM data set. There is now no trace of the lost CFs ever having been in use. They can still be in the (composite) CFRM policy, but now they're simply unreachable in DR just as the DR CFs are unreachable in production. No more problem. Paolo is right. . .
