Hi Richard,
We have all EMC DASD and have a very nice, albeit slightly convoluted
process. We have 4 hours to get our TPF system to norm. VM comes up
during that time. If you want to chat offline, let me know. :-)

Finally, the powers that be are considering remote shadowing of DASD as the
way to handle the BRP situation. The time we are allotted to recover the
system has been reduced to a number that is impossible using tape backups.
I would appreciate it if anyone who is already doing this would regale me
of their experiences - what they are doing, what are the gotchas, how
satisfied are they, etc.
It undoubtedly is different depending on the dasd vendors so here is what
we have:
EMC DASD - about half of our DASD.
HDS DASD - the other half.
Currently, there is no SCSI, it is all ECKD
We currently have no IBM DASD; however, that does not mean that we will not
have some in the future. Every couple of years, we go through a DASD
refresh, at which time we may change vendors.
I will gladly accept replies on or off list. TIA.
Regards,
Richard Schuh
