Error description
This enhancement will add a check for an existing relationship when creating the target pool. So if the user is performing either a Flash or DFSMSdss type backup only and also using a shared target pool we will check for an existing relationship and remove those target volumes from the target pool. The only situation this may introduce is if for any reason the backup needs to be run again before performing the offload those target volumes will be eliminated from the target pool. This may be ok if there are plenty of volumes in the target pool but if the target pool doesnt have extra target volumes the backup will fail. To get around this situation if it should occur we are adding a new input control card for the backup. That control card is REUSE-SHARED-TARGETS. If this control card is present volumes already in a relationship will not be eliminated from the target pools. We have not yet determined a time frame for this enhancement, the team will meet sometime this week to determine that time frame.
