Are you using TSM to backup Linux at the file level too (so, you don't have to log off the Linux images to back it up)?
If so, are you happy with it?

Then for DR simply restore the entire system and avoid the separate format and allocation steps otherwise required. If VM spool files are critical then use VMSPOOL to back up that area separately, in case anything gets lost during FORCE IPL processing. There may be good reasons for not doing it this way, but it worked well for us.
