If a TrueCopy for Mainframe M-VOL is in pending status and you execute an ICKDSF command for Version 2, the

ICKDSF job will end abnormally with CC=12 error. For information on how to avoid that abnormal ending, see

“If an

ICKDSF

Command Ended Abnormally” (page 154)

If you establish a Version 2 relationship with the FREEZE option when a Version 2 S-VOL and a TrueCopy Synchronous
for Mainframe R-VOL are shared, the results of Version 2 operations and TrueCopy Synchronous for Mainframe
operations will be as follows:

Results of Version 2 operations

When the status of a TrueCopy Synchronous for Mainframe pair is Suspend, the command will end normally, and
you can establish a Version 2 relationship. However, when the status of a TrueCopy Synchronous for Mainframe
pair is either Duplex of Pending duplex, the command will be rejected and you cannot establish a Version 2
relationship.

Results of TrueCopy Synchronous for Mainframe operations

If a Version 2 relationship is established with the FREEZE option and if a TrueCopy Synchronous for Mainframe
R-VOL is in the 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 Version 2 S-VOL as the TrueCopy for Mainframe 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 the Fibre Channel interface to connect the main storage system with the remote storage system.

You cannot establish the Version 2 relationship because the data consistency of the Version 2 T-VOL will not be insured.

However, this system configuration differs from the system configuration that is used when IBM
FlashCopy Version 2 and PPRC are used in conjunction with one another.

“Whether Reverse Restore Can be Performed When a Version 2 S-VOL is Used as a TrueCopy for
Mainframe Volume” (page 57)

describes whether or not you can perform the Reverse Restore when

you share the Version 2 S-VOL and the volume of a TrueCopy for Mainframe pair.
