Nigel, Converted from a Hitachi unit emulating a ESS 2105 to a DS6800 using FDRPAS and FLASHCOPY in 1 day, (10 TB), It was awhile back but there were no problems or issues. Except it didn't support Flashcopy 2 at the time (Dataset level)
Since the DS6800 was rack mounted, I should have opted for the in rack LAPTOP, Instead of table to support my monitor and keyboard only. Oh yea. We went from ESCOM to FICON...so great for performance.

I am curious to learn if anyone has done a similar conversion and can comment on the relative performance of the two storage subsystems. The IBM redbook SG24-6781-02 says the DS6800 will out-perform the 2105-800 shark in most zOS implementations. I am also interested in hearing from someone who has installed a used DS6800 and if they had any issues installing and setting up the DS Storage Manager software.
