We are pretty new to z-Linux and we tried using direct connect, just because it sounded easier. We then did a DR test and it was a nightmare, mostly from the inexperience of our midrange people for Linux definition and/or operating system (RHEL 5.4) limitations (per the midrange people). We have just converted our development systems to use Edevices and had a DR test and it was much easier. We still need to finish the migration to Edevices in Prod. We have an SVC and that was originally a problem we had with incompatabilities in versions of software. We had concerns about Edevice flexibility and needed to get up to date on some PTF's that improved their recoverability and failover.

How do you keep track of storage? Is there an SVC in the mix? What do you like about it? (or dislike) Are you using EDEV? Why or why not? I plan to update my "SAN for z/VM" (and zLinux) presentation for the workshop. Would like to hear some current tails and terrors.
