> Seems to be nje w/dedicated ctc. "dedicated" ctc? I am guessing that you mean that the RSCS machine has a *virtual* ctc coupled to the host machine running the second level VM?
If you really have a *hardware* ctc connecting the two VM instances (regardless of whether they are in the same LPAR, or physical machine), you can use it to run ISFC: ACTIVATE ISLINK <dev> (if I remember correctly). Then from any one side you can just copy files directly to/from SFS on the other side. A real breeze!
