FlashCopy pairs can be created after creating Cnt Ac-S Z pairs only when the following options
are used:

DFSMSdss: FCTOPPRCPRIMARY

TSO: TGTPPRIM (YES)

ICKDSF: TGTOKASPPRCPRIM (YES)

ANTRQST Macro: TGTPPRIM (YES)

For details about using Compatible FlashCopy with Cnt Ac-S Z, see

“Using Compatible FlashCopy

with Continuous Access Synchronous Z” (page 27)

.

Cnt Ac-S Z program product is required for using the FlashCopy to PPRC Primary Volume
function.

FlashCopy to PPRC Primary Volume function cannot be used for Cnt Ac-S Z pairs that are
registered in consistency groups.

Data that Compatible FlashCopy copies to Cnt Ac-S Z P-VOLs are transferred to Cnt Ac-S Z
S-VOLs asynchronously. Cnt Ac-S Z displays the progress of this asynchronous data transfer.
Depending on the timing of the Compatible FlashCopy and Cnt Ac-S Z copy operations, a
time delay may occur between the Compatible FlashCopy copy operation and the Cnt Ac-S
Z copy operation, and the Cnt Ac-S Z asynchronous data transfer may progress slowly.

If the Compatible FlashCopy S-VOL and T-VOL are both Thin Provisioning Z volumes, the
number of pages remaining in T-VOL may differ depending on the timing.

The following figures show the copy process of Compatible FlashCopy pairs and Cnt Ac-S Z pairs
by the FlashCopy to PPRC Primary Volume function.
