IBM has talked about the excess Share problem as well, see chart 23 in http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/bitner/presentations/vmup2011.pdf And we are working on it. I think an assertion that it happens all the time is a little overboard. Now that we understand the problem better, I can say everyone

Richard, I can't speak for 6.1, but on 5.4 it works (and did on 5.3). We have the same configuration, TS7720 no real tapes, VM:Tape with shared TMC. We have been using it happily on VM, MVS and TPF for the past 2 years. Rob From: The IBM z/VM Operating

key word 'option' .. it's pretty easy to code for doing either a flashcopy or ddr, whether passed as an option, or even detected automatically (try a flash and if it fails do the ddr). Scott Rohling On Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 2:13 PM, Mark Post mp...@novell.com wrote: On 6/16/2011 at 08:06

Shirley, it could be coded to detect the presence of FLASHCOPY support for every DASD to be copied and choose Flashcopy for those with that support and DDR (or some other process, perhaps HiDRO, VM:Backup, etc.) to copy those that do not support Flashcopy. That detection code, and the
