True, but you have lots of LPAR constraint settings to accomplish fundamentally the same thing if you wish. I like Ken Porowski's idea very much. Keep in mind that a DR test needs to be a DR test. If you're running out of ideas on what to test or rehearse, then you probably just haven't done enough thinking yet. :-) (Hint: It might not be the mainframe! Or try metaphorically incapacitating half or more of the IT staff -- as they're off trying to save their spouses and children instead of their employer's IT -- and discover what "hilarity" ensues.) Every test you run is some other test you don't have time or resources to run. Imagination is wonderful and fantastic, but imagination well directed is even better. Finally, this particular test (testing the "tallness" of engines) you have already undoubtedly run, more than once. You previously ran this test when you upgraded to your current machine model. A z13 capacity model 702 is not a z12EC capacity model 702, for example. Engine "tallness" is never exactly the same across model generations. A z12EC capacity model 702 is quite like a hypothetical sub-capacity engine-equipped z13 -- somewhere between a 602 and a 702 z13, closer to the latter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
