I see your DR situation is mainly hypothetical. Although I suspect you
have had a hand in a few real ones.

In this theoretical DR situation one thing to consider is this:
- Time to get a new physical HMC and spin it up. That finding and
shipping time may be significant.
- Time to recover the virtual one.

I've never done a bare metal restore of HMC. I suspect everyone rather
starts over in such a situation. With a virtual one a bare metal restore
would be possible.

Probably a lot more economical to have redundant virtual HMC's, from
different virtual servers.
