>Are you now saying that you want to use the same set of target volumes for >Z\os AND Z\VM source volumes?
Yes, and z/VM guest volumes as well. I could potentially bring up a z/OS guest under z/VM and want to share the DASD with other z/OS systems. Although that is not our current intent, it should absolutely be supported. More importantly, our tape management system is fully evolved to run under z/OS only. How would I back up DASD used by any z/VM system if I cannot share it? So, if you want to drift back to the original question, why doesn't z/OS DFSMS support PPRC volumes when the volumes are online to z/VM? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
