Re: Mirroring Systems

[ChadB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We switch it every month for a half day (religiously) - the company has
done that for 10+ years.  Sometimes for longer (during various upgrades,
etc.).  It works like a charm and the trickiest part is switching users
over (which is not hard and just requires a well thought out and tested
procedure).  I agree Rob... anyone running HA and 'relying' on it without
testing it frequently is just asking for trouble... why use it if you can't
trust it?!

We're using Mimix HA Lite.  We do switchovers every 2 months.  Doing one
tonight.  Will switch back Sunday night.

Will take some care and feeding.  Don't be like one lister I talk to off
list.  He has Mimix and they have never done a switch over to test and
their offsite machine had a power outage and was down for weeks before
anyone noticed.  They're in the medical industry.  I am sure they don't
have a Chinaman's chance of doing a successful switch.

Mirroring Systems






Hi All,



We are interested in buying a mirroring solution for our iSeries. We have
already contacted some of the providers and would like peoples opinions
about any that they are already using. We've heard the sales pitch, now we
would like to hear real stories, good or bad.



We have 1.4 Terabytes of data spread out across a couple of hundred
libraries. Around 1000 users.



We would welcome any comments.



Ron
