IDEALLY, we'd just use NetAPP SnapMirror between the sites to keep the SAN 
volumes in sync and leave the DR site powered down unless needed (the machines 
are virtualised anyway).  However, some bright spark decided to run this system 
on a non-standard (read: cheap and nasty) SAN that doesn't talk to NetAPP.  
Another stellar decision from the top that results in we poor peons scrambling 
to meet deadlines for audit requirements that wouldn't have existed if they'd 
LISTENED to those who knew better.

Bah - corporate ignorance!
