The short answer is Yes, you can do it. FICON is so fast that you should
not have trouble with 12 drives--assuming that distance is not a
problem. I don't know what the native limitations are, but we use DWDM
to 120 KM.
Actually in the 'olden days' of ESCON, channel extender products
provided a similar capability, but the pathing was not known to MVS.
FICON lets it all hang out.
