Re: IXS, IXA and DR

First, when you do a save, make sure these animals are varied off, or the 
save behaves totally differently.  And I don't mean it skips the EOM.XLS 
because it is currently in use.

Second, when you restore the hardware pretty much has to be the same.  For 
example, if you are running one IXS and want to upgrade to another zippier 
IXS it is not a simple matter of removing one board and putting in the new 
one.  The bios and other rot are stored in that disk area reserved for it. 
 Forgive me some lack of PC knowledge but could you take the only disk 
drive out of a P2 and replace the only disk drive on a P3 with it and 
expect it to work?

The ability to upgrade this easily is a request we have submitted to IBM. 
No word back was given.

IXS, IXA and DR






Anyone have any experience with recovering an IXS and an IXA in a disaster
recovery test?

One, I'm having some issues getting them added to our contract with our
vendor - they claim that they don't have any......which I find hard to
believe.

Second, can I recover from the OS/400 backup or are there any other 
actions
necessary - like reinstall Windows?

Any thoughts appreciated.  Thanks.
