Can you get an outage on the test box? Are the tape drives on production
and
test compatible?
Here's what I do - With the HMC or the console, I put the test box into a
restricted condition. Then, I use a program that deletes the libraries that
will later be restored from tape. Once that's done, I use the Friday night
weekly save tape(s) and my restore program gets the libraries restored from
tape.
The tape library has 4 drives in it, so this past weekend, I was able to
utilize all 4 to blow away and restore 38 different data libraries. The
change management software keeps the test boxes synchronized as far as
everything else is concerned.

Subject: Lpar refresh strategy
All,
I am not an LPAR expert and was hoping for a little advice. I have a
box with 3 LPARS. One production, one test and one development.
I am looking for advice on the most straight forward way of refreshing
the test LPAR from production. Is there a way that I could automate? If
so, how? FWIW - the library names are the same in both test and
production.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Rich
