Brian, I called IBM support, opened the PMR for zVM 3.1, but they ordered the fixes for zVM 5.1 for me. I told them we didn't have maintenance for zVM 5.1.
They had me run a trace for the flashcopy. They reviewed the trace and said the hardware is not telling the operating system that it is flashcopy capable. They told me to ask the CEs to set it up to inform the operating system that it is flashcopy capable. Thank you so much for helping.

It means that CP could not find the console. (See message HCP1010W.) If this is first level then check your LOADPARM value. If this is second level make sure CONMODE is set to 3270. For the FLASHCOPY, given that it works via the CLI, I don't know why it's not working from CP. It's supposed to work from full pack mdisk to a dedicated volume. I'd start by testing with 2 dedicated volumes and testing with 2 full pack mdisks. I'd also call support as soon as the contract is awarded.
