We have done quite a lot of DR testing in the last year and a half. We defined all coupling facilities in our active CFRM policy, the same way Alan C. Field described, and never had a problem IPLing our sysplex. The only difference is that we start JES2 with RECONFIG parameter, to set the CKPT1 (allocated in a coupling facility) to INUSE=NO, so that the CKPT2 will be used.
Never had any problems going back either. With applications it is not so easy, but starting a sysplex is just a routine. The tests were done with z/OS 1.9 and 1.10. -- Zaromil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
