Alan, Unfortunately, my backup site is about 500 miles away. PPRC is not an option here. Does TSA for Linux also require PPRC? Are there any plans to support GDPS/XRC customers?

Stop everything and do point-in-time? Say it ain't so! :-( Tivoli System Automation for Linux (TSA) will work with GDPS on z/OS to handle LPAR failover and volume failover TSA will monitor VM volumes (user and CP-owned) and work with GDPS and CP HYPERSWAP to recover the failing volume. GDPS uses PPRC (Metro or Global Mirror) rather than XRC (aka "z/OS Global Mirror").
