For our first DR exercise, I recommended to my client that we overwrite all of our DASD before leaving. My client listened to the DR vendor say that they cleaned all DASD between customer use. What they really did was a simple MVS relabel/rewrite-VTOC. When we arrived and began our VM restores, one of my clients logged onto his virtual machine prior to it really being restored and found a VM minidisk belonging to the insurance company that had been there berfore us. We could read all about some of their customers, especially the internal-only evaluations of their insurability.
We have been clearing the DASD ourselves since that exercise. Luckily for my client, I was prepared for that. /Tom Kern /301-903-2211 On Tue, 7 Aug 2007 14:09:45 -0400, Gary Green <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >When I worked at Sungard in Philly back in the early 80's, before everyone became security conscious, customers would come in for a DR drill and when the drill was over, they would pack up and leave.
