Hi all, yes I'm still fretting over Disaster Recovery.  If you lose
the site that has your MVS server, and about 50 servers that are in
that computer room... you have to take ALL your offsite tapes (which
belong to ALL your market offices and other buildings) to your hotsite
location, because I dont have a daily report showing which offsite
tapes belong to which servers?  Does anyone know if IBM is working on
a way to remedy this?  SHOW VOLUMEUSAGE doesn't work for copy pool
tapes.  I can run a (loooong running) job today that does a Q CON on
each offsite tape, then SAS's the list, and gives me a list.  But it's
such a pig I can't run that every day.  And if we lose the one location
with the mainframe and all the servers in that location, I can't run
the job.  It'd be too late then.  Does anyone know if they're going
to fix a way to report offsite tapes by node?    Does the DRM component
do this?
THANKS!
