Error description
User created SVC incremental flashcopy session and found TPC-R only supports 64 MB grain size. This causes problems in terms of SVC memory usage since 64 grain size uses a lot more SVC memory to run than the default 256 grain size. User would like a tunable grain size so they can increase the grain size for incremental flashcopy volumes.
Local fix
Use SVC to create and manage incremental flashcopy session
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * Users who manage SVC flash copy sessions with the * * incremental option set * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * | fix pack | 5.2.4-TIV-TPC-FP0000 - target 3Q 2014 | * * * * * * http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?&uid=swg21320822 * * * * The target dates for future fix packs do not represent a * * formal * * commitment by IBM. The dates are subject to change without * * notice. * * * * TPC-R does not allow changing of the grain size for flash * * copy sessions. It will always use the default for the SVC * * hardware types. If the incremental option is set TPC-R will * * always use a grain size of 64. This apar will externalize * * and allow the grain size setting to be changed to a valid * * value for the svc via a properties file setting. This option * * will allow a global setting for all SVC session types and an * * option to control a single SVC FC session. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * contact support to obtain the usage and setting of these * * properties * ****************************************************************
