Hi

Yes, it would be possible, given the following conditions:

1. The end system has to be running AIX so that your TSM server can mount 
the volume in question
2. The TSM server has to be within the same storage partition in your 
FAStT subsystem so that the TSM server can get access to the snapshot 
volume.

Though it's possible, it's going the hard way. It would be alot easier to 
utilize LAN-free capabilities, as automating this procedure would take 
alot of scripting, and lots of engineering on your FAStT.

FlashCopy = Immediate copy. Not copying the whole volume at once, but only 
creating a second table of contents of an existing volume. This also means 
that the new flashcopy volume has ties to the original volume.
VolumeCopy = Replicating two different logical volumes. Replicate 
information stored in one logical volume onto another logical volume. The 
two logical volumes doesnt have any ties to eachother.
