Ed, Just to clarify, the place you were at with a DR scenario was to go offsite to an "obsolete system" was a company that you left 12-15 years ago. At the time, the site was either running MVS/XA with a 3090-200 at the main location and a 4381-Q13 at the offsite location, or running MVS/ESA with 3090-x00E's at both sites. I know because I worked there before you, and still are in touch with people that currently work there. Today they use a third party disaster recovery system, and have for at least 8-10 years.

I shudder at such places. Some places have 24 X 7 X 7 requirements and they still do not have it. I was at one place and their DR scenario was to go offsite to an obsolete system that was 10 years old when it was started. They sit there at board meetings and with a straight face say they have DR working perfectly. Chuckle chuckle The system they want to IPL won't because they refuse to believe you cannot just IPL any old version of MVS.
