Doesn't IBM still have some hot deals on DR boxes? Wouldn't they be cheaper than maintenance on a 720? http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/hardware/is4ha/ If you keep the 720 you are stuck for all perpetuity on your 520 with TGTRLS(V5R3M0). That's one major hassle. Which also means that your 520 can never upgrade two releases higher than V5R3 until you replace the DR box. Summary: The 720 is not a valid DR box. Why? Because it cannot run V5R4. Why does this not make it a valid DR box? Because, with V5R4 you can save spool files and data queue data. SAVLIB ... SPLFDTA(*ALL) QDTA(*DTAQ). These options are not allowed with TGTRLS(V5R3M0). I suppose you could make a business decision to forgo this data as we have always done (or purchased third party software to do so) prior to V5R4. Question: Did you do a trade? Meaning, if you are transferring the software licenses from the 720 to the 520 you cannot continue to run them on the 720. Or did you buy all new software licenses?
