ShadowImage Flashcopy extension

2006-03-13 Thread Dennis Leong
What is the advantage of having the ShadowImage Flashcopy V2 
Extension?  Our mainframe has all its data on a HDS 9900V box.  If I run 
DFDSS Copy full with the dumpconditional keyword without the extension is 
ShadowImage still being invoked on the box?   Thank you.

Sorry, no.  COPY with DUMPCONDITIONAL will do a normal I/O read/write 
copy of the volume, slowly. 
If you add the FASTREPLICATION operand, and FlashCopy is available, then 
it will be flashed, quickly. 


ShadowImage without the FlashCopy extension is not supported by DFSMSdss.
