Some of us are just way way too far from our systems to be "around". One data center is 2000 miles, the other like 800. Added to that, they don't let us in :) and who wants to go to MN in January or AZ in August anyway!

Thanks everyone for paint the pictures. Let's see...We don't have tape attached to our z/VMs. We rarely do server reboots and very rarely IPL our z/VMs (both of which will be changing though) and z/VM has almost never complained about anything. When we do IPL/reboot it's usually due to change, so we're around anyway. The one time that z/VM did cause us concern was during IPL, so again, we were around. We have had to take a couple of chpids offline here and there for the HW guys, but we've either been notified of a problem or we were aware of a change. Either case, we've made ourselves available. So, we must be much smaller than everyone else, are too power hungry to relinquish control, or we've just been very lucky. :-) In any case, I still don't think they need access. And I'd wager they would agree. :-) Thanks again, Leland
