Hi all,
You will probably need channel extenders like the usd-x from brocade.
we are using them with escon now, but soon we will be using them with ficon.

How you doing - take a look at www.brocade.com we are currently talking to
the, about their DCX backbone for a customer with an issue similar to yours.

 Hi All,
 I need some advise concerning the following:
 The current environment has a B18 VTS / ATL at the primary site and a B18
 VTS / ATL at the DR site 30km away.
 We now need to move the B18 VTS / ATL to a DR site that is approx 1000km
 away.
 Will it still be possible to use a peer to peer replication between the 2
 VTS's. I heard that only
 synchronous replication can be used by the B18 VTS.  What other options
 are available.
 I do understand that the B18 VTS is out of support, but this will be an
 interrim measure before they are
 converted to more current technologies.

 Kind Regards,
 Meganen Naidoo
