The fine manual says this: Section 01.03 SUMMARY OF MODIFICATIONS FOR VERSION 5.4: AUTOMATIC QUIESCE OF ZFS FILES If HFS=QUIESCE is specified in FDR, FDRDSF or FDRABR steps, any zFS files which are dumped will also be automatically quiesced during the backup or copy, just as is currently done for HFS files. However, this only works for FDRINSTANT (where the main control statement is SNAP, FCOPY, PSPLIT, or SPLIT). The manual supports what I said about snap. However my maintenance sysres set is 2 3390-9 volumes. One that I full volume copy (all the PDS and PDSE data sets) and the other is unix files - formerly HFS now zFS. I full volume disk to disk copy the primary volume. But the second volume I always used PGM=FDRCOPY with HFS=QUIESCE control statement. It is this process that doesn't work with zFS. Innovation did show me how I could do it with snap since we are licensed for FDR INSTANT, but I already indicated that I didn't like that option. BTW, with IBM DFSMSdss, it automatically quiesces both HFS and zFS with a logical copy.
