I believe 1st Data (or whatever they're called now) has been doing this
for quite a few years.
It just takes planning, good network folks, and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ (and more
$$$$$$$)
Thanks!

Willy-nilly is about notification and opportunity for preparation. For example,
management declares a surprise DR drill on a Saturday morning. So the techs
execute their well-rehearsed swap-over plan and begin running production at the
DR site. Real live transactions with actual customer data. The old production
site is now obsolete.
Then Sunday at noon management decides to roll back before the new week starts
off. There is no time to plan. No time to test. The entire environment has to
copied back to prod overlaying the old data. And it has to work from the
get-go.
Can anyone step up to that challenge? If not there could be some serious willy
damage.

I don't know the tricks either. Guess I need to attend more DCM
Project-sponsored sessions at SHARE... ;-)
I can attest that we have a number of customers that swap workloads between two
sites a couple/few times a year. (Does that count as
willy/nilly?)
We have one or two with a third site in the mix! Yikes!!!
