Hi Dale, Yes, I am using FlashCopy to create the clones. I'm re-flashing the spool and checkpoint volumes for subsequent tests because I have others doing other testing of the z/OS 2.2 upgrade so I'm bringing it up cold so they can do their testing. Once I get a new idea based on the feedback I'm getting, I'll shut it down and reflash my 5 spool volumes and 2 checkpoints and re-IPL. Much faster than re-flashing the entire LPAR. :-)

In all your tests since the original one, are you using the same cloned system? I was wondering if you try a new clone of the production system whether it will work or not. There is a possibility of some kind of error due to timing of the clone. I assume the clone was done with a snapshot? -- Dale R.
