I believe the answer is no, you can't do it.  The reason is that the
COPYVOL and COPYSET commands require that the source and target volumes
have the same physical characteristics.  Chances are the logical volumes
on the two machines have some different characteristics - different
number of tracks, bytes per track, etc.  If you had two VA7110's
configured exactly alike, it might work, but I doubt that the situation
you describe would work.
