Mainframe Customers,
Please let NWRDC know if you are planning to participate in the Mainframe Disaster Recovery exercise via email addressed to Mainframe-DR-Support@nwrdc.fsu.edu.
• Dates – Customer testing begins on Wednesday June 28, 2017 at 8:00 am and will run until 8:00 am on Thursday, June 29, 2017.
• Connection requirements - All terminal communication with the DR site will be required to be encrypted. That means if you are going to participate in the DR exercise your TN3270 sessions must be directed to dr.nwrdc.fsu.edu using port 992. Port 23 will NOT be active. Again, this pertains to all terminal interactions with the DR site only.
o The TN3270 SSL activation steps are as follows:
Obtain TN3270 software that supports SSL/TLS security
Enable the SSL/TLS feature for the client session.
Enter 992 as connection port
o You may test your SSL capability any time using either nwrdc.fsu.edu or nwalt.fsu.edu and specify port 992.
• The DR host is dr.nwrdc.fsu.edu. If you need to punch any holes through your firewalls for this, the IP address is will be provided several weeks before the exercise.
• There will be no DR equivalent of nwalt.fsu.edu
• All tape data will be available at the D/R facility, including HSM. This is a result of our migrating to the Luminex/Data Domain virtual tape library/storage.
• We plan to restore DASD volumes from snapshots created at 2:30 AM Monday morning, 6/26/2017.
• Control/M - If you want your Control/M activated, please let us know via email. Control/M by default is not started unless specifically requested.
• Printers- If your testing includes printing output please provide NWRDC with a list of the printer(s) you would like to have activated via email.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call Customer Support at 850-645-3500.
