Yeah, that's one of the concerns... Same place for diaster test as real disaster, but differnet IP configurations there and no xDR Hyperswap (which is in control of your system config names --- i.e. must be SITE1 SITE2) in either of those scenarios but only on the prod (mirrored) environment.
Just trying to think through the best way - the trade off is tests automagic (ipl away) with disaster test or longer involving reconfigging with real diaster (mucking with system netid perhaps). Given the former happens 11 times a year and the latter hopefully never, maybe its ok for a little intervention in a real disaster scenario (given we meet our RTO). But its also probably better to have an RTO in test that is the worst case scenario and not better than the real disaster. Didn't tcpip used to work off of system identifiers and not node names (system netid)? That latter is harder to work around given a change to system netid involves resaving CMS.

Marcy, You could also QUERY CPUID to find out where you are, but if you run in the same place for DR tests and real DR, that won't distinguish between the two. Dennis "A pistol!

No, that will tell me if sapl screen entry or salipl set them. What will tell me what it is if it was done from the HMC? FWIW, GDPS/PPRC Hyperswap (xDR) + GDPS/XRC leaving me trying to figure out where I am (meaning VM and linux who tags along on VM parms) and what network I have available in order to set up tcp/ip config (and maybe consoles ) files for all 3 scenarios ...
