We have run into another one of those "z/OS is right and VM is weird"
mysteries.  Hopefully, someone else can shed some light on it.

We have a DS8100 (2107) that we have been using for the past few months
for VM based stuff (SFS servers, Linux server, etc) with no problem.  I've
been using CP FLASHCOPY on it with no problems as well.  We just tried to
move some z/OS volumes over to it from an old 2105-F20 (Shark).  The
volumes moved fine.  However, when our z/OS guy tried to run
z/OS ConcurrentCopy against some of the datasets, he got errors that the
box does not support that function.  Obviously, it does since we have
been doing Flash on VM all along.

Now, the z/OS guys are suggesting that I gen the 2107 volumes as
"unsupported" in VM to fix the problem.  I'm not sure what they mean
by that, but I don't like the sound of it.  Anyone seen this problem or
have any insight into it?
