To protect a volume only against storage system copy operations, you must ensure that the volume
has the Read/Write attribute and then follow the procedure in “
Preventing a Read/Write Volume
from Becoming a Secondary Volume ” on page 23 to assign the S-VOL Disable attribute to the volume.
This procedure enables you to prohibit a volume from being specified as a secondary volume (that
is, a copy destination volume) for storage system copy operations.
To allow the volume to be specified as a secondary volume (that is, a copy destination volume), you
must ensure that the volume has the Read/Write attribute and then follow the procedure in “
Specifying
a Read/Write Volume as a Secondary Volume ” on page 24.
