Alan, Having worked with both Hitachi and IBM, for open systems storage replication, I can say that the method for handling replication on each vendor's storage is completely different and would not work at all with each other. I can only guess, that it also works that way for mainframe disk. That company never did replication of the mainframe storage (we just ran a ton of full volume backup jobs, at the time).
