We host our SKLM on Windows virtual servers that can - and do - migrate from 
VMWare cluster to VMWare cluster in a couple of widely separated datacenters.

We have the Java-based ISKLM running on two z/OS LPARs for our tape.

I assumed ISKLM would not be usable for DASD because of the "catch-22" 
situation of needing the DASD to IPL z/OS.

Suppose we had a complete power down of the computer room. Could we still 
somehow IPL z/OS from DASD that has not yet contacted its z/OS-based SKLM?

Thanks...
