z/VM 5.4 at 0802 and Flashcopy works as expected.
I do not have VMSECURE.  My back-end storage is a DS8100.

 I upgraded to z/VM 5.4 with new release of VMSECURE 8.2 (not sure if
 VMSECURE makes any difference). We are using Version 1 (ugh) on F20 shark.



 Tried to run the FLASHCOPY command and received reply command complete but
 accessing new volume I noticed the label has not even changed. No command
 started message.



 Open a PMR with IBM.



 Just for kicks I tried it on my second level z/VM 5.2 system and received
 both messages.



 Command started:

 Command completed:



 And the flash actually worked.



 Anyone else encountered something this strange?

- ESS (Shark, 2105) offers FlashCopy v1 and FlashCopy v2 (aka 
Point-in-Time Copy, PTC)
- DS6000 (1750) offers only PTC
- DS8000 (2107) offers PTC and the new FlashCopy SE
