The most telling detail I've seen is that the Delta 'system', whatever that entails, encompasses 500 servers! Of those, 400 came up early-ish on, but 100 others proved obstreperous. OK, folks here have cited--even boasted about--nearly transparent DR failover. Really? Can anyone on this list actually perform a complete DR with 500 servers to another location in less time than it would (presumably) take to get all 500 back up in their native location? We're not talking here about a well-configured mainframe. This is a massive number of weenie-ware gizmos that all have to talk to each other in perfect harmony. Somewhere else.
If so, you are gods. I stand ready to be awed. . . .

I have my own speculations as to why they didn't declare a disaster. As a result, the outage was extended because it appears to be taking them in excess of 12 hours to reboot everything. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Steve Beaver Sent: Tuesday, August 9, 2016 8:41 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Delta Outage Then WHY did they not initiate their DR and move all systems to the HOT Site.
