If you are recovering everything from tape then it does make sense to restore everything to identically sized disks - but its not compulsory - you could just have one super goiant disk and restore everything to that. It would work - but there would possibly be a performance drop off.
What you didn;t mention in your description is how you restore the operating system mksysb? I'm assuming that you have a NIM server in your DR site for this purpose?
In which case the order would be:
Restore TSm Server
Restore mksysb to NIM server
Restore mksysb to LPAR
Recreate disk layout with savevg
Restore Data
It sounds like the crux of this will how and when will the storage be set up for the DR test? Do the Storage guys backup and restore the configuration you require or do they have to create it on the fly, or is it permanently allocated?
