as the source and target

Source volumes

The following describes whether volumes can be used as source volumes:

•

Volumes set as command devices (reserved for use by hosts) cannot be used as source volumes.

•

Volumes in an abnormal or inaccessible condition (for example, fenced) cannot be used as source

volumes.

•

Volumes with Cache LUN data stored in cache cannot be used as source volumes.

•

iSCSI volumes (volumes to which paths are defined from iSCSI ports) cannot be used as source

volumes.

•

Volumes that HP StorageWorks Continuous Access XP Journal or Universal Replicator for z/OS® uses

as a data or journal volume cannot be used as source volumes.

•

Volumes reserved by a migration program other than Auto LUN XP cannot be used as source volumes.

•

Volumes on which the RAID Manager is performing volume migration operations.

•

Volumes that form a Snapshot XP pair cannot be used as source volumes.

•

Volumes used by Continous Access XP Journal or Universal Replicator for z/OS® as a journal volume.

•

Volumes used by the IBM 3990 Concurrent Copy (CC) host software function.

•

Virtual and pool volumes cannot be used as source volumes.

•

Inaccessible volumes, or volumes in an abnormal state cannot be used as source volumes (for example,

pinned track or fenced volumes).

•

Volumes being shredded.

•

Universal Replicator for z/OS®: If the status of a Universal Replicator for z/OS® volume is Pending

duplex or Duplex, the volume cannot be used as a source volume. Note that if you specify a Universal

Replicator for z/OS® volume as a source volume, you cannot specify an external volume as the target

volume.

•

Continuous Access XP Journal. If the status of a HP StorageWorks Continuous Access XP Journal volume

is PSUS, PSUE, or SMPL, the volume can be used as a source volume. If not, the volume cannot be used

as a source volume. When a Continuous Access XP Journal pair is deleted from the MCU, the status of

both volumes changes to SMPL, and both volumes can be used as source volumes. When a Continuous

Access XP pair is deleted from the RCU, the status of the P-VOL changes to PSUS, the status of the S-VOL

changes to SMPL, and both volumes can be used as source volumes.If the status of a Continuous

Access XP Journal volume is COPY or PAIR, the volume cannot be used as a source volume. Note that

if you specify a Continuous Access XP Journal volume as a source volume, you cannot specify an

external volume as the target volume.

•

Business Copy. Using a BC volume as a source volume depends on the status and cascade

configuration of the volume. If the status of a BC volume is not split-pending COPY(SP) or PSUS(SP), the
