RE: DR of an iSeries with blade servers; are blades fullyrestored?

["Haase, Justin C." <justin.haase@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think the answer to all your questions are in the redbook titled
"Microsoft Windows 2003 Server Integration with iSeries"  Specifically
chapter 7.

Subject: DR of an iSeries with blade servers; are blades fullyrestored?

Has anyone had this kind of experience:

- You have an iSeries with blade servers.
- Your blade servers carve their disk space out of the DASD of the
iSeries
- Backup of the iSeries naturally includes the xSeries blade server's
disk areas

Has anyone restored from one of those backups to a different but
like-type machine configuration (with xSeries blades) and did it restore
all the directories and files of the blade servers and associate the
proper backup of the xSeries blade disk area with its associated blade
on the new system?
How about restoring only some of the blades?    

If so, how long did it take to restore your system back to full service?
How much DASD was backed up?  Will you provide details of how you did it
and the "gotchas"?

Thanks,

Dave
