Disaster recovery planning

Disaster Recovery Planning (DRP) reduces the business impact of a disaster. DRP ensures that the business supported by the data center remains viable. In the event of a disaster at the primary data center, full operations and production work would move to a secondary data center. By using IBM® Z Workload Scheduler to direct the recovery effort, you can ensure that the required recoveries are run in sequence, with minimal delays, and that every error is detected and reported. This chapter describes:
  • Designing your IBM® Z Workload Scheduler DRP.
  • Implementing your IBM® Z Workload Scheduler DRP.
Before you plan for the recovery of data, have a good understanding of the comprehensive built-in recovery actions provided by IBM® Z Workload Scheduler. This reading is recommended:
  • The Planning and Installation chapter on IBM® Z Workload Scheduler configurations
  • Current® plan reference information in the chapter about producing the current plan, which is described in Managing the Workload
  • Backup and recovery of data sets.
