What were the general points in the "HA on a shoe string budget"
presentation?

-----------

The technique was written up in the Jan 2007 issue of System i News -
page PROVIP 35.

You must trick the remote computer into applying the remote journals
receivers that it is holding. That remote journal receiver identifies
itself with the production machine. The trick involves
creating/restoring from a savefile (both on the remote machine). Then
the remote machine will apply the updates to its files. If the
production machine goes down all of your data is current on the remote
machine after the last remote journal receiver has been applied. This
is a technique to protect your data - it does not coordinate a swap.
But the price is right - $zero!

Presentation and lab were great! COMMON session 500172 and lab session
