Bob, AFAIK GDPS/XRC is a supported configuration except that only the Linux I/O is timestamped and hence XRC eligible while I/O on VM's own behalf is not (unless it changed recently). I.e. if this is acceptable for your setup you should be able adding Linux volumes to your XRC configuration. Not sure about the GDPS side of the configuration, hence adding Dave Petersen on copy. He should be able telling us whether he can manage Linux operated minidisks or whether he requires dedicated disks when running Linux under z/VM in a GDPS/XRC setup.
