2 non-cascade, Volumes, Auto – HP XP20000XP24000 Disk Array User Manual
Page 17: Source, 3 cascade volumes and auto lun source volumes

TrueCopy for Mainframe: If the status of a TrueCopy for Mainframe volume is suspended or
simplex, the volume can be used as a source volume. If not, the volume cannot be used as a
source volume. When a TrueCopy for Mainframe volume is deleted from the MCU, the status of
both volumes changes to simplex, and both volumes can be used as source volumes. When a
TrueCopy for Mainframe volume is deleted from the RCU, the status of the M-VOL changes to
suspended and the status of the R-VOL changes to simplex, and both volumes can be used as
source volumes. Note that if you specify a TrueCopy for Mainframe volume as a source volume,
you cannot specify an external volume as the target volume.
HP StorageWorks XP Continuous Access Software: If the status of a Continuous Access volume is
PSUS, PSUE, or SMPL, the volume can be used as a source volume. If not, the volume cannot be
used as a source volume. When a Continuous Access pair is deleted from the MCU, the status
of both volumes changes to SMPL, and both volumes can be used as source volumes. When a
Continuous Access pair is deleted from the RCU, the status of the P-VOL changes to PSUS and the
status of the S-VOL changes to SMPL, and both volumes can be used as source volumes. Note
that if you specify a Continuous Access volume as a source volume, you cannot specify an
external volume as the target volume.
Universal Replicator for Mainframe: If the status of a Universal Replicator for Mainframe volume
is Pending duplex or Duplex, the volume cannot be used as a source volume. Note that if you
specify a Universal Replicator for Mainframe volume as a source volume, you cannot specify an
external volume as the target volume.
Continuous Access Journal: If the status of a Continuous Access Journal volume is COPY or PAIR,
the volume cannot be used as a source volume. Note that if you specify a Continuous Access
Journal volume as a source volume, you cannot specify an external volume as the target volume.
ShadowImage for Mainframe and HP StorageWorks XP Business Copy Software: Usage of
ShadowImage for Mainframe and Business Copy volumes as a source volume depends on the
status and cascade configuration of the volume as described below.
• The following volumes cannot be used as a source volume:
• ShadowImage for Mainframe volumes whose status is SP-Pend or V-Split.
• Business Copy volumes whose status is COPY(SP) or PSUS(SP).
•
on page 17 specifies which non-cascade volumes can be used as source volumes.
