Mount points

If different logical volumes are mounted in multiple mount points with a hierarchical relationship (such
as

M:\

and

M:\MNT

) do not specify a mount point that includes a lower level directory mountpoint

(for example,

M:\

in the above instance) as the target of replication. If this is done, the replica creation

fails and the error message (KAVX0006-E, DRM-10062) is output. To specify multiple mount points
(that include directory mount points) as replication targets, make sure they are not in a hierarchical
relationship.
