Explanation

One of the following conditions occurred:
  • A FlashCopy® Establish command was issued for source device device-info without the keyword SETGTOK(FAILREL) or SETGTOK(SWI), and the specified target device is a space efficient volume.
  • A FlashCopy Establish command was issued for source device device-info with background copy requested (MODE(COPY) or MODE(NOCOPYTOCOPY)) and the specified target device is a space efficient volume.
  • A FlashCopy Establish command was issued requesting Preserve Mirror required and that the specified target device is a space-efficient volume.
  • A FlashCopy Withdraw command was issued for device device-info with DDSW(YES), resulting in an attempt to start a background copy for source relationships and the target device is a space efficient volume.

System action

FlashCopy command fails.

System programmer response

If the intent is to establish a FlashCopy relationship to a space efficient target volume, issue the command again with SETGTOK(FAILREL) or SETGTOK(SWI) specified.

If an establish with MODE(COPY) was specified or implied, issue the command again with MODE(NOCOPY).

If a withdraw with DDSW(YES) was specified. Verify that a withdraw without background copy of the source relationships is acceptable and issue the withdraw with DDSW(NO).
