Notes:
1. If a Cnt Ac-S Z M-VOL is in pending status and you execute an ICKDSF command for Compatible FlashCopy, the
ICKDSF job will end abnormally with CC=12 error. For information on how to avoid that abnormal ending, see
ICKDSF command ends abnormally” (page 113)
.
2. You cannot establish the Compatible FlashCopy relationship, because the data consistency of the Compatible
FlashCopy T-VOL will not be ensured.
3. If you establish a Compatible FlashCopy relationship with the FREEZE option when theCompatible FlashCopy S-VOL
and Cnt Ac-S Z R-VOL are shared, the results of Compatible FlashCopy operations and Cnt Ac-S Z operations will be
as follows:
•
Results of Compatible FlashCopy operations
When the status of the Cnt Ac-S Z pair is Suspend, the command will end normally, and you can establish a
Compatible FlashCopy relationship. However, when the status of the Cnt Ac-S Z pair is either Duplex or Pending
duplex, the command will be rejected and you cannot establish a Compatible FlashCopy relationship.
•
Results of Cnt Ac-S Z operations
If a Compatible FlashCopy relationship is established with the FREEZE option, and when the Cnt Ac-S Z R-VOL is
in extended long busy (ELB) status, the command to create or resume a pair will be rejected. However, the command
to suspend or delete a pair will be executed normally.
When you use a Compatible FlashCopy S-VOL as the Cnt Ac-S Z R-VOL, configure the system as follows:
•
Connect the different hosts to the main storage system and remote storage system, or connect the host of the main
storage system to both the main and remote storage systems.
•
Use fibre-channel interface to connect the main storage system with the remote storage system.
However, the above-mentioned system configuration differs from the system configuration that is
used when Compatible FlashCopy and PPRC are used in conjunction.
The following table describes whether Reverse Restore can be performed when you share a
Compatible FlashCopy S-VOL and a volume of a Cnt Ac-S Z pair.
