You cannot make pairs of the volumes.
Specify the logical volumes satisfying the conditions described in
as the source and target
volumes. The source and target volumes must be specified by LDEV ID.
Source volumes
The following describes whether volumes can be used as source volumes:
•
Volumes set as command devices (reserved for use by hosts) cannot be used as source volumes.
•
Volumes in an abnormal or inaccessible condition (for example, fenced) cannot be used as source
volumes.
•
Volumes with Cache LUN data stored in cache cannot be used as source volumes.
•
iSCSI volumes (volumes to which paths are defined from iSCSI ports) cannot be used as source
volumes.
•
Volumes that HP StorageWorks Continuous Access XP Journal or Universal Replicator for z/OS® uses
as a data or journal volume cannot be used as source volumes.
•
Volumes reserved by a migration program other than Auto LUN XP cannot be used as source volumes.
•
Volumes on which the RAID Manager is performing volume migration operations.
•
Volumes that form a Snapshot XP pair cannot be used as source volumes.
•
Volumes used by Continous Access XP Journal or Universal Replicator for z/OS® as a journal volume.
•
Volumes used by the IBM 3990 Concurrent Copy (CC) host software function.
•
Virtual and pool volumes cannot be used as source volumes.
•
Inaccessible volumes, or volumes in an abnormal state cannot be used as source volumes (for example,
pinned track or fenced volumes).
•
Volumes being shredded.
TrueCopy for z/OS®: If the status of a TrueCopy for z/OS® 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 z/OS® 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 z/OS® 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.
TrueCopy: If the status of a TrueCopy 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 TrueCopy 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 TrueCopy 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.
Universal Replicator for z/OS®: If the status of a Universal Replicator for z/OS® volume is Pending duplex
or Duplex, the volume cannot be used as a source volume. Note that if you specify a Universal Replicator
for z/OS® volume as a source volume, you cannot specify an external volume as the target volume.
