What does your EMC Sales Rep say about this? I believe that EMC has their own "GDPS" offering called GDDR. I know that the EMC disk ss supposed to be able to do PPRC, but everytime I ask that here, all I get is that it is "Flakey", and the issue goes no further. If you have already made the jump into GDPS, you better make sure your contract people put language in any new contracts with EMC that what they are selling you will continue to support your GDPS infrustructure or they pull the DASD out at no cost to you.....

We have used GDPS for a number of years with IBM ESS disks and had no real problems. We mirror (PPRC) between 2 sites about 15km apart and we do regular freeze/flashes via GDPS to test our DR set up. We are now moving to EMC DMX3 disks (for other reasons) and wondered if any other users had experienced any problems - software, hardware or support.
