When you say "QUIESCE" are you referring to doing a DB2 "LOG SUSPEND"? As I understand, a "LOG SUSPEND" hardens any DB2 data that may be in buffers and then halts DB2 update activity. Once you've done this you are then ready to undertake your point-in-time copy using whatever hardware technology that's installed. At the completion of the PIT copy you would then issue a DB2 "LOG RESUME".
