thanks for everyone's responses. i don't know a single detail about it at all. this company had taken on (or better taken over) quite a few datacenters around, so I presume they know what they are doing. I am not involved in any of it. I only get involved _after_ it is all done, trying to tie up loose ends. Testing, etc.

Been through a bunch of them, all the success ones IMHO , were planned to the nth degree. Everything from Communications(Network), Operating System , Applications, like someone said similar to a DR test, but in an outsourcing case, permanent. The key to me is to lay everything out as a plan on paper and brainstorm it , usually you can spot the potential problems pretty easy.

They mirror to new "volumes" then take them over to the next place? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Barkow, Eileen Sent: Friday, May 20, 2011 8:18 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Moving to an outsourcing datacenter But the network part of things is a lot more complicated. New lines and network definitions may have to be installed for SNA and IP addresses changed for web applications. Similar to doing a DR test at remote sites. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Donnelly, John P Sent: Friday, May 20, 2011 1:13 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Moving to an outsourcing datacenter Simple answer; disk and tape(storage) replication for all operating platforms. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Lindy Mayfield Sent: Friday, May 20, 2011 9:44 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Moving to an outsourcing datacenter When a company decides to move their datacenter to the datacenter of an outsourcing company, how do they do it?
