You can establish Mirror/Copy (PPRC) connections between DS8100s using the 
DS8100 management console and System Automation for Linux on zSeries can 
detect DASD failures and perform a "hyperswap" operation.

However, that's not the same as GDPS.  GDPS is a z/OS solution that 
provides more than a DASD failover mechanism - it can failover an entire 
CEC.
