In addition, there are 6 EMC Knowledgebase entries which mention 'FDRSNAP' and I saw it mentioned in a couple of our timefinder maintenance files (that makes sense; if there are knowledgebase entries, you can bet that we either have a fix or are working on one).
I only found 1 whitepaper which mentions flashcopy in passing. So for the 'gotchas', check out the knowledgebase entries.
Hi there I know this happened a long time ago. We moved from IBM ESS to EMC DMX3 a couple of years ago. Would you be willing to discuss any of the questions/problems etc you may have had. We also use FDRinstant to do our backups.
I'm not seeing any new instances of issues. As I mentioned in the earlier post, the knowledgebase search turned up a few hits on known issues, and this discussion. Let's see if others turn up any helpful hints...

Our migration from the ESS to the DMX has long since been completed. We did have a few issue's with FDRInstant that we resolved. We are currently fighting issue's with the EMC Resource Pack. The issue is now back with Engineering for the 2nd time and we are waiting to hear from them. If you wish to discuss anything regarding the migration or the resource pack issue's, let me know.

I found this thread which seems to have a small bit of relevance.
