Re: IBM Global Copy/Global Mirror
We started with PPRC on Sharks, upgraded to XRC on DS8100's, then later added GDPS. This has been stable plus or minus for a year or two and seems to be working well. I imagine that you'll find that details of your implementation will be somewhat unique to your specific situation. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Steve Dover Sent: Monday, April 09, 2012 10:26 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: IBM Global Copy/Global Mirror We have recently started remote replication to DR site. We are replicating mainframe and open systems data. We have ironed out all of the issues we have except for our DS6800 Global Mirror.

Re: IBM Global Copy/Global Mirror
I'm don't know what you started before GDPS existed, but GDPS was alive and well in May, 1999 when I began testing software that intercepted GDPS' I/O requests for a former employer. That was 13 years ago.
