Can we share dasd somehow?
How current do you want it? rsync will update one from the other on demand. See rsync.samba.org for some handy hints. Then there are enbd (enhanced network block device) and drbd which facilitate mirroring in the RAID manner across a network. See www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/reisner/drbd for the latter. I suspect that sharing DASD isn't on unless it's ro in both places. You could move it from one to t'other, but the notion doesn't appeal to me. -- Cheers John.
