Setting up 2 test servers is not a problem. Devising the conditions where one might cause the other problems could be difficult when resources are limited. First-hand experience in the real world would be a much better measure.

Would having each do control data backups to the other cause problems. For purposes of this discussion, assume that they would not do the backups concurrently and that neither catalogs nor filespaces share space on the same disks. Regards, Richard Schuh
