Chong, I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that by "VQDIO" you mean z/VM V4R3 guest LANs with virtual OSA Express (QDIO mode). To Phil: The amount of time to clone is highly dependent (naturally) on the DASD subsystem. Different technologies can and do yield drastically different times. So, asking "what's the fastest" is different than "what's the fastest Chong achieved using his evironment and techniques". Alan Altmark Sr. Software Engineer IBM z/VM Development
