I don't see any mistakes. However - For SYSTEM CONFIG: are you sure that DEFINE MDISK 991 39 120 53DRES points to the CF1 of the new system, and/or that the new system is IPLed with CF1 as its IPL "input"? - For the CP directory You did mention you changed the directory source, but not that

We do ours via NAT translation in the router. The network people make it transparent to the OS be it z/VM or z/OS. On the systems we maintain the same IP addresses as production. Then when we go to the DR site (which is an internal site) we translate 10.9 to 10.25. Then no need to change anythi
