Chris,
I will look into Chapter 6 on Backup Managers.  Unfortunately, I don't know
too much about HA myself, but we are an HA shop and we have some "experts"
which have implemented HA on other applications but unfortunaltely they
don't know Netview.  Their question for me was "Is  Netview HA'able?"
meaning, could it reside somewhere other than rootvg, if so, it could be
done.  All they need to know is whether or not  Netview can be installed on
a seperate logical volume (not part of the operating system) Can you answer
that question for me being that you have implemented it for your customer?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
