Hi Mark, 

many thanks for taking the time to publish the howto.

Basic condition for cloning is that the cloned system should run on the same 
hardware. 

But what if one wants to clone the system tun run on another hardware? 

(This is basically possible for MVS: we have cold standby hardware in another 
location, the basis for
our catastrophe scenario, and we can start the same MVS system on the cold 
standby hardware. 
I am no expert for the gory details, but this is how it works.) 

In other words: is it possible to modify a cloned system in a way that it could 
run on a cold 
standby system - i.e. changing channel path and further network definitions in 
a way described 
in the present Clone Howto for DASD and file system? 

Installing RHEL from the scratch on the second hardware is of course a 
possibility. But the cold standby system
is accessible only on 10 days per year so that no regular maintenance is 
possible. 

Has anyone an idea for this state of affairs?  

thx
Anna
