Hi Pam,

please have a look at appendix A of the TSM server administrator's Guide,
there are some good pointers on which data you need to share between the
active and the standby server in HACMP. I'm currently engineering a solution
not based on HACMP and have successfully switched over from one server to
another (though I'm not using PPRC or similar). I've submitted an abstract
to the TSM symposium in Dresden about this, so if my submission gets
approved I'll be presenting a paper about this.
