Rob,
The limit of DLO objects in an ASP is approximately 349,000. We have 4 ASPs
to cover our docs.
We are running vendor software that still uses DLO (on the schedule to
replace), but it's a multi year effort to replace a major app. This is a
large and complex and very integrated system that is still carrying a lot
of baggage we legally have to keep. There is no "we can do without". The OS
still supports it.
This is a major DR vendor, we have run a dozen tests over the years, but
this is first where the ASPs exist, and we have new hardware configuration.

Maybe at a DR center that's one of those things you just 'do without' in
order to get restored in a timely fashion. Sometimes you make sacrifices.
So, maybe they make no concessions for such niceties.
Also keep in mind that a DR center 'may' have totally different disk. For
example your shop may be running on 35GB or smaller drives and they are
running on 700+GB drives so there's no way on God's green earth they're
going to carve up numerous 700+GB drives for some shop that may only total
500GB of disk.
And it's also quite possible that your partition may be a guest under some
host.

Why do you need multiple ASP's? Is there a system limitation to the
number of DLO's in a single ASP? If so, chalk this up to yet another
reason we've been giving people for years to stop using QDLS and all of
it's many issues and start using other directories. I'm not saying the
migration will be painless.

Here's a recent sports tweet that I got:

If it matters to you,
Then you'll find a way.
If it doesn't,
Then you'll find an excuse.

Planning a DR test where we will restore large system to a vendor's
recovery center system.
Previous year instructions (by prev employee) indicate the DR provider
will
use our Save 21 tape to load up through disk configuration.
At the point of adding the disk to ASPs (we have 4 - ...lots of DLO) I
assume the restore process does not know there were 4 ASPs of xxx size,
and we have to remind the vendor to set them up.

Is this a correct assumption?

In memos for the contract I keep specifying 4 ASPs with the size and get
back a summary response with only Total Disk size.
I'm not the direct contact, and do not want to be surprised.
