In the event of a disaster, IBM policy is that they will break "sequential 
delivery", and give you the next one off the production line.

In just about every disaster that I have recovered with a loss of the 
computer room, IBM has shipped the new system before I was ready to install it.

Clearly, your disaster recovery plan should have the correct information as 
to who to call (typically your BP or IBM directly) to notify them of the 
disaster.
