Yeah, I understand how the process works, but I don't like it. CDs are slower and they have the potential to get scratched. It also means there's something else you need to bring with you when starting your DR process. Basically it adds risk by introducing delays and additional points of failure, neither of which are good in any situation but especially bad in DR mode.
Now, if you actively manage your own DR system the risk can be somewhat mitigated by pre-installing the LIC and pre-configuring the tape drive, but it's still extra effort that you don't have to do with SCSI.

This is not really a big problem. You can allways IPL with a CD and setup the fibre-attached drive to be the alternate *installation* device.
