To throw another tangent to this On z/VSE, FCOPY detects the present of FLASHCOPY and will use FLASHCOPY when available and it makes sense to use it. I got plenty of calls from Operations when a DS8100 was brought in and we intended to phase in FLASHCOPY. FCOPY phased it in, very quickly

It will likely fail, with a message that the target is not in the required state and is the target of an existing flashcopy...until the background copying finishes -- you won't be able to flash to the same target. Scott Rohling On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 11:06 AM, Alain Benveniste

Hello, When I read VM Performance book, I was confused by a few terms regards Q0 list. There are three conditions can enter Q0 list: QUICKDSP, hot-shot, lock-shot. What does hot-shot/lock-shot mean? What kind of situation would be considered as hot-shot/lock-shot? Can CP set hot-shot/lock-shot

FLASHCOPY SYNC does not wait until the target disk is copied. So, you can try to launch a second FLASHCOPY while the previous is still busy, and your attempt will fail. 2011/6/17 Alan Altmark alan_altm...@us.ibm.com On Friday, 06/17/2011 at 01:37 EDT, Scott Rohling scott.rohl...@gmail.com

What Q0 mainly does is keeps a VMDBK out of the eligible list. SET QUICK DSP is the only externally available way of getting a guest into Q0. Hot-sho t and lock-shot are internal settings that indicate to the scheduler that t his VMDBK should not be delayed for some reason. For example,

FLASHCOPY SYNC is only useful for older (Version 1) FlashCopy hardware. Modern storage subsystems, such as DS8000, will not change their behavior with this parameter. From the FLASHCOPY helpfile: SYNChronous (For FlashCopy Version 1 hardware) tells CP to process the command

Lockshot refers to making a virtual processor temporarily class 0 if it is holding a critical z/VM Control Program resource, typically a system lock. Since most system locks of that nature are held for very short periods of time, it isn't very common. Hotshot refers to making a virtual processor
