Ted, We are trying to bring up a second site - 20 km away, with sync EMC storage replication and a GDPS with a duplexed coupling facility (to avoid the DB2 recovery time if we lose a site). The problem we've uncovered is that the latency in communicating between sites (for CF activity) causes too much contention for system resources, and also increases lock ocntention beyond tolerable levels.
My understanding is that, in a data-sharing environment, I have to have a duplexed CF to avoid lengty DB2 restarts (per oll of the DB2 folks I've talked to), so it seems I'm sorta stuck. We can replicate the data, but not the structures! Does that make sense?
