The CP FLASHCOPY command is available if you have purchased Copy Services on the dasd (and you can do some stuff with DSF). There is no CMS CLI to make the box do your bidding, though you could trigger a Linux guest to ssh into the controller and use its resident CLI to do what you need. And we were just discussing a CMS-based SMI-S client over in the LINUX-390 listserver yesterday.... Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
