Ceclia: >From EMC's web site: "EMC Compatible Flash for z/OS enables IBM FlashCopy commands to be executed in an EMC storage array. Compatible Flash intercepts and interprets IBM FlashCopy channel commands on the z/OS host and emulates command execution on EMC Symmetrix storage systems." However, there is NO support for z/VM. The EMC Support Matrix only mentions z/VM at all in stating re z/VM 5.1 that "IBM plans to discontinue service for this version of z/VM on 09/30/2007." You really need to ask EMC about z/VM support in detail. Jim
