Hello,
Presently we have DS6800 disk storage configured for 3390-3 and 3390-9.
Our address range for production is 1000-10FF with 2000-20FF for the
flashcopied volumes.
EMC disk storage is being considered as a replacement for our current disk
storage.
I am told EMC disk storage functions differently for flashcopy. EMC disk
storage utilizes BVCs for images... The interface for implementing BVC
images does not support z/VM... (I am not sure if this is accurate, but
this is what I have gathered from meetings with a group of zOS systems
programmers. I may have misunderstood what they were saying...)
Has anyone used EMC disk storage for flashcopy purposes in the VM
environment? How was it implemented? Presently for flashcopies in z/VM I
just enter:
FLASHCOPY vdev1 scyl1 ecyl2 TO vdev2 scyl2 ecyl2
Would EMC disk storage function the same?
Please advice.
Thank you.
Cecelia Dusha
