RE: System Reload (was Pandemonium at Hot-sites)

Stuart,

You don't say if you are restoring back to your own machine. When I am at our 
D.R.Site, I don't RSTCFG, as the machine has a slightly different physical 
config and let QAUTOCFG do the work for me. If you are restoring back to your 
own machine, then ignore my comment, as RSTCFG "should" put it all back.

As it happens, I'm in day 2 of a three day disaster recovery test, and have
just had my first "funny".
I have just restored a full system save as per the ibm disaster recovery
instructions.  When i do a wrkcfgsts *dev, all my display stations, comms
lines, tape drives etc are there, but absolutely no printers!!!!!

They're not hard to re-create, but both the IBM engineer and me are
puzzled....
I'm restoring the nightly backup as i type; this has a savsecdta and a
savcfg, so i'm hoping it'll pick the printer device descriptions up of that.

Anyone else (whose tested their DR plan!) has this one?

Regards,

Stuart
