ControlCenter 6.0 Disaster Recovery

Why not consider using SRDF ?
This way the failover site already has the same data and all you need to do is a symrdf failover and boot your host.

That implementation depends on your configuration, A few points to think about :
1) If you're Booting from SAN and your ECC RAMBDB exists on EMC storage subsystems - Just replicate data to the DR site via SRDF ... in case of crash/test just perform RDF failover and then boot your DR server from the R2 OS disk .
2) I've implemented DR for ECC 5.2 SP5 without boot from SAN (only the DB existed on DMX-3 - Replicated via SRDF), I've used a procedure by EMC. That procedure actually just backs up registry and other important files (and the ECC services) on the ECC main server .. what you need to do is just run that script after the ECC is going down for backup. In case you want to test it/ in case of DR, you'll need to run the restore script (on the DR ECC server) and before that - to change the DR server to the same name as the main one... - That procedure works perfectly
-- For ECC 6 I've heard that such procedure (including the scripts) exists - So just talk to your EMC representive ...

Hope that helps,
Idan.
