There was a PMR opened with IBM last summer regarding Flashcopy not working with older F20 devices. This was fixed in October of last year. It was a PE against the new Flashcopy feature. I will check my office email account tomorrow to see what number IBM assigned to problem. In any event the fix works well.
Not a problem with VMSEUCRE. Hans -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of C. Lawrence Perkins Sent: January-26-10 5:08 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: CP FLASHCOPY command fails to work on z/VM 5.4 Thank you, Mr. Schmiedge, I shall do that. I noticed when I do a "Q DASD DETAILS " against the source and target in z/VM 3.1, it reports the "CUTYPE" as a "3990-E9" even though I specify "2105" in the IOCP of the 9672 that's running my z/VM 3.1 system. When I do the same "Q DASD DETAILS" against those very same addresses in z/VM 5.4 on the z800 it reports the "CUTYPE" as a "2105-E8", also with "2105" in the IOCP for the z800. But that may be simply z/VM 5.4 being "smarter" and not relevant to the problem I'm having. Then again....
