If you use the SDIS approach, please think about whether you want to use a database link or a channel access link.  

If you use a database link you're database will be in one giant lock set which, I have discovered, can dramatically change the way your IOC behaves.

If you want the IOC to stay alive and visible to the outside world then
Bob's suggestion of pointing all the record's SDIS links (which he
mis-spelled as DISL) to a single "ioc enable" PV would probably be
better. There is a brief description of this mechanism at
