Hi Mark, I have never worked with a RAMAC 3 before, however, a couple of thoughts come to mind: If the RAMAC 3 supports either IBM Flashcopy Ver1 ( Volume Level Flashcopy ) or PPRC Ver1, you could 'setup' some volume(s) with IEBDG as someone else suggested. Then you could specify the 'setup'

The reason for the same FMID's is because while we are changing the release number; it can be done with a simple maintenance upgrade. For example, going from R5.2 to R11.0 or even to R11.5 does NOT require a complete new install of the product. Instead, you can simply apply APAR's and/or PTF's.
