Thanks for the information. Do you remember how long your outage was? We're being told (using one solution) that the outage will be on the order of two hours.

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.

Subject: (External):Moving a Sysplex

Would a GDPS like solution work for moving a sysplex from here to there, where the there is over 1200 miles from here, without taking a sysplex outage?
