Hi, unfortunately I am not that deep into flashcopy, so please excuse if I assume something wrong.

A bootable SLES12 SP1 system was cloned using flashcopy. All minidisks on the clone are the same virtual address.
Do the minidisks have exactly the same size? Or is it possible that you cloned only parts of the disk?
At boot on the clone we get: IPL 201 Booting default (grub2) dasd-eckd 42a207: 0.0.0200: The specified record was not found. 1. What's the most likely cause for this error?
That the disk is not fully formatted or (more unlikely) it is defective.
2. What script/files do we need to tweak to fix it ?
dasdfmt will format the whole disk but this would destroy all cloned data and might not be what you want. I suggest that the disks should have exactly the same size and everything should be cloned. If this is not possible for some reason you could format the target disk using dasdfmt (or if the source disk was formatted with another tool use this one) before cloning. Please note that you have to use the same disk format and blocksize as for the source disk.
