Why not apply the maint, and create a second SYSRES? Then if you have problems a D/R, just reipl with that alternate sysres that has the maintenance. You will be a hero then!

The problem is that our DR test is in February. It is now 28 Jan. And I can only make changes on "Infrastructure Weekends". I simply don't see how I can get all these PTFs into my sandbox & tested, then into the development LPAR and test and then into the production LPAR and tested before the DR date. I guess the DR vendor hoped that we were one of the shops who remain current. We only apply maintenance when absolutely required. And our usual "maintain current" methodology is to install the newest release of the system, not apply PTFs. This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
