When you use a Compatible FlashCopy S-VOL as a Cnt Ac-J Z P-VOL

You can use a Compatible FlashCopy S-VOL as a Cnt Ac-J Z P-VOL when the Cnt Ac-J Z pair is in
any status.

When you use a Compatible FlashCopy T-VOL as a Cnt Ac-J Z P-VOL

You can use a Compatible FlashCopy T-VOL as a Cnt Ac-J Z P-VOL when the Cnt Ac-J Z pair is in
any status. When you want to use a Compatible FlashCopy T-VOL as a Cnt Ac-J Z P-VOL, note the
following conditions:

If a Compatible FlashCopy volume and a Cnt Ac-J Z volume cannot be shared, the host may
receive a report that a Compatible FlashCopy T-VOL is a PPRC P-VOL.

If the S-VOL and T-VOL of a Compatible FlashCopy relationship are both Thin Provisioning Z
volumes, the number of pages remaining in the T-VOL may differ depending on the timing.

If a Compatible FlashCopy relationship is suspended during a copy operation, the shared Cnt
Ac-J Z pair is also suspended. Because data is copied asynchronously in Cnt Ac-J Z, it may
take much time before the Cnt Ac-J Z pair is suspended.

The following table describes the combinations of the volumes when you use Compatible FlashCopy
with Concurrent Copy (CC) and Extended Remote Copy (XRC).
