Yes, it is. You cannot have long-distance connections in an SSI cluster because of the shared DASD. And I agree that a replacement is needed for the CTCs. Now that we have the IVL (Inter-VSWITCH Link) capability that allows CP instances to participate in a multicast group, the goal is feasible. But it remains a metro solution.
