We mirror our volumes from one data center to another but we are not using IBM DASD.
-----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Marcy Cortes Sent: Monday, November 13, 2006 7:06 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: GDPS/XRC mirroring of VM volumes Is anyone out there doing this? We're attempting to mirror some volumes from one data center to the other to improve our disaster recovery times. It turns out there are a lot of restrictions when doing VM volumes - timestamping of I/O is not done (it is by Linux guests though) so lots of error messages are generated.. Intelligent automation can surpress those... But apparently we shouldn't even put MVS and VM in the same system data mover (SDM) according to IBM? We're also having problems getting the secondary copies flashed to tertiary copies. Marcy Cortes "This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
