Re: DR and IXS

The NWSD should restore from your full save along with the NWSSTGs and the
only trick would be updating the resource name parameter on the NWSD if it
has changed on the new box.

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:

Hope this helps,
Trevor
