I will repeat the gist of many previous attempts to get the attention of
IBM.
The "next generation" tools are inferior to their (IIRC, z/VM based)
predecessors in terms of performance, reliability and functionality.
z/VM, z/OS, and AIX are designed with fault tolerance and hot failover
capabilities. A "application outage" should not last more time than that
to detect the failure and restart the application, assuming the
application was not designed for hot standby. 54 hours ("planned") and
another 8 hrs plus imply the application was not designed in this
manner.
Which begs the question, on which platform are the applications hosted
(MICROSOFT??), and why are the capabilities of the operating systems not
exploited?
IBM should be embarrassed.
