The most assuring test would be to format/initialize the disk and the
recover.
     1. First erase disk
     2. Recover System
     3. Boot System
     4. Check if all ok

We did this tests on NT, Solaris and Netware and had good expiriences.

All is well described in the manuals of ADSM and your OS.

I have 3 types of clients, NT, AIX, HP.  ADSM server is running on
RS/6000-AIX.
Prior to going live, I need to do a complete Disaster Recovery Test on
each system.
What would be the most assuring test on each system, I need steps on
each system.
Please share with me your experiences and tests which you have done
prior to go-live
on any of these systems.

Thanks,
Salam
