    We use TDMF very successfully in our MzGM environment, is it not supported in an MGM environment? If it is, why was that not pursued as a solution vs opening a GDPS RFE?

    this could be very useful for disk migrations - we are facing such a migration soon and the options for accomplishing this across the configuration are cumbersome on error prone

    This is N/A for our environment, since we are an MzGM shop. But I believe this requirement applies to all 3-site or 4-site configurations, not depending on what copy services they are using.
    Maybe not for 2-site configurations; I am not sure if this is the case for everyone but we always install new disk subsystems in pairs (PPRC primary and secondary), so we always have a B' for the new A'.
