What do you mean by a crash? A catastrophic event that destroys a data center
in an instant? It appears to me that 99% of "crashes" are disk drive failures,
99% of which may be mitigated by disk mirroring.

Nathan, By a CRASH I mean the sudden termination of all processes on the system. For example, pulling BOTH power cables from the CEC while the system is running (An IBM CE actually did this to us once!).

The system issuing SRC B6000103, forcing a Main Storage Dump and initiating an Abnormal IPL (This is what happened to us 3 weeks ago!)

These are kind of system crashes I'm referring to.
