I don't have any real answers, just some comments. One bank I worked
for had as their disaster recovery a 370/158 computer left in the
basement of the bank after the datacenter moved 4 blocks away. No I/O
equipment. My last full time job, we paid for a hot site. We never
did a disaster recovery test until 2004 (I think). Had a disaster
struck our datacenter before then, it would have been interesting.
After that, they never did another because the z/OS datacenter was
closing.

Got you beat on this one. One place I worked for had their DR site at
a electrical switching station. Needless to say it was a standing
joke, Air conditioning we don't need no stinking AC. Power
conditioning? we don't need no stinking conditioning. Will the
machine even power up hay it worked when it left the building. Its a
machine that used to work but will it IPL why not, the OS doesn't
make a difference. On and on...
