Does Flashcopy take care of "open file" issues, any way around quiecing?

But I'm having a problem. flashcopy b28a 0 b28b 0 HCPNFC332E Invalid control unit type - B28A Ready(00332); T=0.01/0.01 13:52:00 So I thought maybe something needed to change some definition in the DS8100. I searched and searched and found nothing. I searched IBMLink and did not find anything for the HCPNFC332E error. So on a whim I decided to try it on my z/VSE guest that is running under this VM. ixfp snap,syswk1:vsewk1 AR+0015 IXFP23D SNAP FROM CUU=286 CYL='0000' TO CUU=284 CYL='0000' NCYL='0D0B' - REPLY 'YES' TO PROCEED 15 yes AR 0028 1H09I OPER INFO SYSXXX=286 AR 0028 SUBSYSTEM STATUS CHANGE: FL-COPY RELATION ESTABLISHED AR 0028 1H09I OPER INFO SYSXXX=284 AR 0028 SUBSYSTEM STATUS CHANGE: FL-COPY RELATION ESTABLISHED AR 0015 IXFP22I SNAP TO CUU= 284 STARTED AT 18:39:28 GMT 01/14/2009 AR 0015 IXFP20I SNAP FUNCTION COMPLETED AT 18:39:28 GMT 01/14/2009 AR 0015 1I40I READY AR 0028 1H09I OPER INFO SYSXXX=284 AR 0028 SUBSYSTEM STATUS CHANGE: FL-COPY RELATION TERMINATED AR 0028 1H09I OPER INFO SYSXXX=286 AR 0028 SUBSYSTEM STATUS CHANGE: FL-COPY RELATION TERMINATED Worked perfectly. So now I have to wonder why it does not work in z/VM. -- Mark Pace Mainline Information Systems 1700 Summit Lake Drive Tallahassee, FL. 32317 -- Mark Pace Mainline Information Systems 1700 Summit Lake Drive Tallahassee, FL. 32317 ----------------------------------------------------- Please see the following link for the BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee E-mail disclaimer: http://www.bcbst.com/email_disclaimer.shtm
