Terry,
We run IBM's TSM on a zOS lpar. This backs up SCSI data to tape. The
tapes are taken to DR and restored there. But as Bill says you have to
have a contract in place with the hot site to provide the SCSI storage.

Hi
We are gearing up for DR and this time they want us to recover our
Oracle data base which is 5.5TB. These are all z/Linux guests running at
RHEL 4.6 under z/VM 5.4.
The data base storage is allocated on LUNs with WWPNs and LUN IDS. We
just got off of our TAP meeting with hot site folks and they claim that
they do not have the Hardware to support the SCSI storage required for
the Data Base. I have never tried to recover SCSI on the mainframe so is
there another way? What do other folks do when they need to recover this
type of data from z/Linux?
Thank You,
Terry Martin
