Thanks for the responses to my DR question. Helpful information! So basically, I have 2 methods of bringing z/VM up at our DR site:
1) Run it under the z/VM Floor System (we use Sungard as our DR service). 2) Bring z/VM up in an LPAR. To me, option one is probably the BEST and EASIEST to implement as I don't have to make changes to our running system to be able to run at the DR site. So: If I bring z/VM up under z/VM, what's the performance aspects of it? Will it affect performance more than if z/vm was running in an LPAR? Now, if I have to bring z/VM up in an LPAR, 1) I need to change my VM directory so that I have DEDICATE xxxx VOLID yyyyyy rather than DEDICATE xxxx yyyy (which is what we're doing now). 2) Since we use a VSWITCH to an OSA, I'll need to reconfigure the VSWITCH to use a different address. 3) We have HIPERSOCKETS defined with DEDICATE statements. This is to allow communication to our z/OS LPARs. #3 is the issue I'm having now if I want to bring things up under an LPAR at the DR site. How do I deal with this? Thanks again!
