Terry, This sounds like a CONTRACT issue to begin with. If your contract with your Hot Site is for FCP recovery as well as DASD recovery then they are required to produce the SCSI storage. If you did not set this up previously on your contract and you are trying to change your contract now, you are out of luck.
Most places have their critical DASD and critical SCSI storage mirrored at a hot site for a quick DR solution. good luck Bill Munson 201-418-7588 President - MVMUA http://www2.marist.edu/~mvmua/ VM Project Officer - SHARE http://www.linkedin.com/in/BillMunson "Martin, Terry R. (CMS/CTR) (CTR)" <[email protected]> Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <[email protected]> 08/10/2010 02:51 PM Please respond to The IBM z/VM Operating System <[email protected]> To [email protected] cc Subject DR and FCP Hi We are gearing up for DR and this time they want us to recover our Oracle data base which is 5.5TB. These are all z/Linux guests running at RHEL 4.6 under z/VM 5.4. The data base storage is allocated on LUNs with WWPNs and LUN IDS. We just got off of our TAP meeting with hot site folks and they claim that they do not have the Hardware to support the SCSI storage required for the Data Base. I have never tried to recover SCSI on the mainframe so is there another way? What do other folks do when they need to recover this type of data from z/Linux?
