My company is currently running from our hotsite after declaring and executing a disaster at our primary site (too close to the Missouri River this summer). We're looking for alternate sites to move our primary site to that are closer to home. I guess we were kind of in denial that we'd ever declare a disaster and never really planned for coming back from the hotsite. It's amazing what comes up in an actual disaster that never made it into our semi-annual tests.
Anyway, the purpose of this email is to ask if there is any way to extend both Escon and ficon channels out of whatever turns out to be our computer room? We have some candidates to move back to, but would prefer to run them dark and put our tape drives and operators in another room or building. We have a 2098 CPU and both 3490 Escon and 3590 ficon tape drives. I probably left out a lot of needed details but would appreciate any responses. If there's no way to extend these channels, does anyone know off the top of their head how long the channel cables can be? Thanks in advance.
