Others may know something I don't, but I would answer No. I don't believe you can run a (parallel) sysplex over that distance because of CF link limitations. Furthermore, assuming that you could somehow get one sysplex member sharing across that distance, you would have to switch from using production DASD volumes to GDPS-mirrored volumes. I just don't see how you could do that seamlessly. We performed a multi-sysplex move a couple of years back using essentially GDPS DR procedures, but we took a full outage to accomplish it.
