BRMS Recovery Script Questions

Hi,

We will be performing a DR test next month on a system supplied by IBM for
our test. We will be using BRMS Recovery script for the first time. I have
a couple of questions in regards to the BRMS recovery script if anyone
would like to share their expertise it would be very much appreciated.

Background:
We are on V7.1  Cume TL14283 and TR 9  Our recovery strategy includes 3
media tapes: (as we do not perform *savsys nightly) and yes we save our
access paths with each save.

1. *savsys (monthly) entire system save  Media: SI0176
2. *savlib (weekly)                                      Media: SI0159
3. *savchgobj (daily cumulative)               Media: SI0009

Questions:

      1. Update System Name in the BRMS Media Information step:  In a DR
test and restoring from savsys would the local network and default local
location on the new test system be the same anyway or am I missing
something ?

   2.	In the step of :Recover Required System Libraries:  (snapshot below)
      Can I select all 6 selections below all at once even though the media
      switches back and forth weekly to daily at each library and the fact
      that daily is a *Cuml type. Is BRMS smart enough to do the savlib and
      savchgobj restore. Or does it make sense for me to only select just
      the weekly ones first then does the screen come back to be able to
      select the daily ones (speed perspective) so not to have to unload
      tape media so often ?

   3.	Has anyone used the Recover Media sets concurrently step ? Pros/Cons

   4.	If I don’t use the Concurrent option, do most people Recover All
      Remaining System and User data at this point (then jump to the
      Recover Directories and Files as the script says) Or would you
      recommend doing the more separated BRMS recovery script steps by
      “Recover IBM  Product Libraries, then Recover user Libraries, then
      Recover Documents Library Objects then get to the recover Directories
      and Files) ?

Any tips/gotchas or recommendations ?

Thanks so much
