Our "production source" is considered part of our production environment.

While we have our development in a separate lpar there might be some things you want to consider even for your 1 lpar situation. If you are not replicating development to your HA machine then what do you do when you are running on your HA machine, and your primary machine is running a restricted state full system save and some user says this job has blown up and a developer needs to look at source?

Thanx guys ... Good ideas.
Since we also have our developer environments in the same LPAR as
production, maybe I'd just replicate the production environment to my
offsite system. This would simplify my replication environment and in a
real disaster I could restore the development libraries from tape after my
production users are all up and running.
I'd could then run production BU's from the HotSite system and my
Development BU's anytime I want, from the production system, without
affecting production users access. Once a quarter I'd fail over to the
HotSite for production users and run a FULL backup of the production
system so I have a place to start if I needed to recreate the Production
System after a major disaster.

We do a complete save on our system on an every other month basis. Next
year that drops to once a quarter. It's not a bad idea to test switching
over to your backup system anyway and while you do a test is a good idea
to do a full save and IPL for PTF's and whatnot.

We are thinking of implementing IBM iCluster in order to maintain a HOT
copy of our system at a DR location. I have a Power6 system so I can use
the new IBM System Mirror product and iASP's ...
I would like to do backups to tape at our HOT Site so the production
system can remain available to our users 7/24.
If I do that, would I have to do ANY kind of BU on the production system
... (Like a SAVSYS???) ... OR ... would backing up the HOT site be
sufficient?
