GDPS dual legs 3 sites Metro Mirror extended to be 4 sites so as to attain HA in the DR data center as is in the Production data center

This extension will allow the regular swap between Production and DR data centers because both will have HA. Regular swaps and long stays in the DR center are supposed to be a requirement of DORA

    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that although we agree that the proposed enhancement is desirable, we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it cannot be delivered within our planning cycle.

    LOW … I understand the requirement and the potential regulatory requirement but it does not apply to Fifth Third

    This would be really useful although I understand it will require quite some effort to implement.

    Highly probably I am missing a big something here.

    Is this not what MGM 4-Site already does?

    Good idea, definately.

    This would be really good for us. Losing HA in our DR site by migrating from XRC to GM is an embarrassment, so the re-addition of the 4th site would unruffle feathers.

    I agree, this would be a valuable addition for the future.
