If a copy operation established in COPY mode is not yet completed

If the original relationship was established in NOCOPY mode

If the relationship being reversed includes a relationship established with multiple volumes

If the S-VOL capacity exceeds the T-VOL capacity in the relationship being reversed

If the original relationship was re-established using the Fast Reverse Restore function

If the S-VOL or T-VOL is an external volume.
