Mark,
> And with the ease of copying DASD via Flashcopy, I move volumes from
device to device for various reasons,
Well sure, so do I. I either FLASHCOPY starting at cylinder 1, or if I
need the entire disk copied, I relabel ("clip") the target volume per the
convention after the copy.
FLASHCOPYing the entire volume without clipping one volume afterwards
guarantees duplicate volsers. If there are any z/OS systems that also
have access that DASD, the z/OS IPL process will stop when duplicate
volsers are found (as I understand it). This gets the z/OS people mad at
us z/VM people. That's *one* reason I always try to avoid duplicate
volsers. FWIW...
