Around 15 years ago I was involved in disaster-recovery
from the operating system side - the MVS days. I remember
that, at that time, I used to map the installation device
addresses to the device addresses at the DR site. This 
meant that we could use our own device addresses and our
own esoteric names without change. This was a normal part
of MVS IO gen, etc. and did not require VM.
  .
We are now involved in disaster-recovery at my present site.
When I describe this facility to the Z/OS operating system
guy he gives me a funny look. I scanned though some of the
present manuals and do not see any reference to this kind
of facility. Was the ability to do this kind of mapping lost 
somewhere along the way? I know that I did not dream it.
