APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When pprc paths are setup for 5 or more source LSS to a single target LSS and a Recover or Flash command is run. This will lead to a path setup error due to it violates the path rule when going in reverse direction: Max 4 target LSSs for 1 source LSS. This may cause the data copied to I2 and H2 volumes to be inconsistent, since the Flash of I2-H2 is performed even when the global mirror failed full recovery due to the path setup problem.
Local fix
Problem summary
FLASH command fails in Global Mirror failover/failback session because there are more than 4 lss going into a single lss. This causes the failover to fail bcause a lss cannot have more than 4 paths out.This causes 0F51 error which in turn causes the frr to fail with 0F85. However, the I2-H2 will still be flashed.
Problem conclusion
The Flash command will now only flash if the H1-J2 sequence is consistent.
