Re: SYS21 - Moving JBA to a new machine

[Michael Berman <mxb1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This issue should be on the top of everyones list atleast once a year
when you do your Disaster Recovery Testing and move to a cold/hot
AS400.

Disaster Recovery Planning should consider all aspect of your business
including manual preocedures while you get your machines up and
running from the last restore.

GEAC must be able to supply codes for the DRP machine!

I had a situation several years ago where we had a head crash every
August (it stopped when we planned out leave around it, then we
implemented mirroring) and we were forced to recover EVERYTHING.
After that, and out annual DRP Test we had the recovery down to 18hrs
rather than 36.

You plan (which MUST be tested) should include getting codes and
making sure everything is 110% operational when needed.

Regards

Michael
