Hi,

The server we intend to recover is used to encrypt/decrypt data, basically it 
uses GPG. Initially this server was running on an Intel box but to access the 
data on zOS we used Samba instead of NFS. 

We need to access the zOS server in order to access some application data on 
HFS.

Thanks.

Well, it depends on what they mean by "recovering."

If you already have the x86 equivalent of the app environment set up,
and all you're recovering is your data (or, possibly, some byte-
compiled applications--I mean, isn't that the promise of Java?
"Write once, crash anywhere") then, yeah, it could work.

Or, if you were really studly and had some way to recover your DASD
into Herc-compatible CKD files, then you could run your Linux guest
under Hercules (not likely, though, since you most likely have QDIO
devices coupled to a guest LAN or a Vswitch and Herc doesn't do QDIO
natively yet) on an x86 box.  Or Flex/ES plus a FlexCub would let you
do this directly, although in that case I'd argue that you aren't
*really* recovering to x86, you're recovering to s390/zSeries in a
funny-looking box.

However, yeah, the naive approach is certainly doomed.

Adam
