Yes, I just went "live" with z/VM 5.4 at RSU 901 and I'm experiencing the exact same problem.
There's no "Command started" message, there IS a "Command completed" message, and the FLASHCOPY doesn't run, it can't be seen with a Q FLASHCO PY and it can't be seen in the Copy Services GUI of the Shark's Specialist a pp. CPU is a z800, Shark is a 2105-800. I've searched the PSP buckets and there doesn't seem to be any PTF/APAR against this problem in RSU's after 901, maybe I just didn't see it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
