There were some really good user experiences on DR at SHARE. Think I was most impressed with Ryder's plan. They even had it down to who was taking care of sysprog families while they were busy putting the company back together. Doesn't hurt to be inventive. When we had a big F4 Tornado come thru Apr 27th 2011 it was like a smart bomb. Took out EMS, Police radio tower, cell phone towers, Fire station, Red Cross, Salvation Army, Army Reserve Center, Environmental Service(garbage and dump trucks) in first five minutes and stayed on the ground for another 120 miles. It missed the University, Football Stadium and Regional Hospital(300yds). The Reserve Center lost or had buried most of their vehicles but did have a couple cases of Iridium phones. Were able to get communications between First Responders and call for other units. The Environmental Services had most of their vehicles destroyed or damaged as well as the maintenance shop. They did make it to the Army surplus store to buy goggles and were able to run trash pickup the next day. IIRC Ibm-main was down for a little while but it was due to com problems In a message dated 6/1/2017 5:50:17 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
2) As our plans include a triage effect (run degraded during certain windows) for recovery and our applications are very tightly integrated with shared files /DB Tables we do not switch and run Production in the recovery site and recover back. In fact we document as part of the decision matrix for declaring a disaster that once declared there is a known window before we would be ready to fail back to the primary DC. All tests result in throw away data and we spend considerable efforts to ensure the separation of the DR systems while active from the Production users/Stores except for the chosen testers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
