Yes, we actually worked with our account team from IBM and they brought in some of the IBM experts to help us take a closer look at this. It was determined that the additional memory was needed due to the database change between the two versions. Given enough memory, I think it would work fine.

Thanks for posting this problem Craig. We were about to obtain some new hardware as part of our upgrade plans including TSM on zLinux. It doesn't sound like this is worth pursuing in light of your problems. But, I have to say it is not entirely unexpected. It seems like one part of IBM doesn't

No - you can mount 2 separate DASD's as long as they aren't LVM volumes - no problem. So - does that file exist?(the config for the 4220) ..if not, why not?Need more info about your clones.. Also - are you sure it's /dev/dasdc1 ? Did you do an lsdasd to confirm? Scott Rohling

It's not necessarily true that you don't need to wait until the copy completes... if the FLASHCOPY gets an RC0 - ok -- but if it gets a RC indicating for example - that there are already pending flashcopies for the device -- I'm not sure offhand if DATAMOVE tries again or fails the workunit.
