Re: DR and IXS

David,
If the DR IXS is the same as yours (or compatible as a hot spare), then all you will need is for the NWSD to be correctly configured. If not, you may have to create a new one, but that is a snap. You would just have to ensure the RESOURCE name is pointing at the right IXS. Once the NWSSTGs are restored, and the NWSD is correct, link them and vary ON.
I suggest you retrieve the source of your current NWSD configuration - that will be good documentation for what needs to be in place on the DR box.
Hot spare compatibility is outlined here: http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/integratedxseries/ixs/system_config.html 

Hope this helps,
Trevor

Subject: DR and IXS



I read through all archived posts regarding DR and the IXS but have a
question on the restore process.
We currently have a contract with IBM to provide us with a replacement AS400 in the event of a disaster. In the contract, it states we will be supplied at least an equivalent if not better AS400 at our DR site. We are planning 
on restoring our system from, first a full system save, and then from our
most current backups. If they supply us with a similar AS400 and the exact same IXS card, will the IXS drives be restored and operational after the Go 
Restore, Option 21.   Or will we still have to allocate the storage space,
etc?

I understand from earlier posts that a different card would require a
re-load of the Windows OS.





Thanks,
