Creating a container with multiple copy groups (mainframe
systems)
To create a container with multiple copy groups:
1. Select a volume without a copy pair configuration and launch the Pair Configuration Wizard.
For details on how to launch the Pair Configuration Wizard, see “
Launching the Pair Configuration
Wizard ” on page 142.
2. Create a pair group and associate it with a copy group. When performing the association,
specify the consistency group ID and journal group ID. For details on how to create pair groups,
see “
Creating pairs and pair groups ” on page 151. For details on how to associate pair groups
with copy groups, see “ Associating pair groups with copy groups ” on page 158.
3. Select a volume without a copy pair configuration and launch the Pair Configuration Wizard.
4. Create pair groups and associate them with the previously added copy groups. When applying
the association, specify a consistency group ID or journal group ID.
If the storage system and volume selected for the second copy pair configuration are the same
as the storage system and volume selected for the initial copy pair configuration, specify a different
CTGID/JNLGID from the CTGID/JNLGID specified first.

Supported copy group and container combinations
In the following discussion, the term target group refers to the initial copy group or container in a
cascade configuration (cascade source group). The term following group refers to the subsequent
copy group or container cascaded with the initial copy group or container (cascade destination
group).
The following are supported combinations of copy groups and containers when defining cascade
configurations:
• If the target group is a local copy group, it can only be combined with a following group that is
a remote copy group.
• If the target group is a local copy group container, it can be combined with a following group
that is a remote copy group container.
• If the target group is a remote copy group, it can be combined with a following group that is a
local copy group or a remote copy group.
• If the target group is a remote copy group container, it can be combined with a following group
that is a local copy group container or a remote copy group container. In addition, the target remote
copy group container can also be combined with a following group that is a local copy group.
