Ken,

What are your DR goals?  If you are looking for a box to fall back on if a
disaster hits your 170, here are my thoughts.
1.  If the disaster is a head crash or similar failure I would guess that it
would be quicker to have IBM repair the damage and then recover your 170.
2.  If the disaster is a failure that IBM cannot quickly remedy then your
idea may allow you to at least have some production while the 170 is
repaired.  I suspect this is a very rare circumstance.
3.  If the disaster is a natural disaster then would the 150 also be a
victim?  If so, then the outside box may be your better option.

Chuck
