Hey Ed, we haven't really been advertising this function because of the DS8K copy services restriction. Besides FlashCopy, it means that only simplex volumes are eligible (no Metro or Global Mirror relationships).
Yeah. That's why that "Idea" Lenny Bradshaw referenced is so important! Hopefully, IBM's DS8K fix (being optimistic) will cure all of those copy services-related restrictions in one fell swoop!
When creating FlashCopy Full Volume copies, Incremental FlashCopy is still a best practice. Glenn
Thanks, Bruh. It's gratifying to know my memory (on some things at least) is still working... ;-)
