If a TrueCopy for Mainframe M-VOL is in pending status and you execute an ICKDSF command for Version 2, the

ICKDSF job will end abnormally with CC=12 error. For information on how to avoid that abnormal ending, see

“If an

ICKDSF

Command Ended Abnormally” (page 154)

If you establish a Version 2 relationship with the FREEZE option when a Version 2 S-VOL and a TrueCopy Synchronous
for Mainframe R-VOL are shared, the results of Version 2 operations and TrueCopy Synchronous for Mainframe
operations will be as follows:

•

Results of Version 2 operations

When the status of a TrueCopy Synchronous for Mainframe pair is Suspend, the command will end normally, and
you can establish a Version 2 relationship. However, when the status of a TrueCopy Synchronous for Mainframe
pair is either Duplex of Pending duplex, the command will be rejected and you cannot establish a Version 2
relationship.

•

Results of TrueCopy Synchronous for Mainframe operations

If a Version 2 relationship is established with the FREEZE option and if a TrueCopy Synchronous for Mainframe
R-VOL is in the extended long busy (ELB) status, the command to create or resume a pair will be rejected. However,
the command to suspend or delete a pair will be executed normally.

When you use a Version 2 S-VOL as the TrueCopy for Mainframe R-VOL, configure the system as follows:

•

Connect the different hosts to the main storage system and remote storage system, or connect the host of the main
storage system to both the main and remote storage systems.

•

Use the Fibre Channel interface to connect the main storage system with the remote storage system.

3

You cannot establish the Version 2 relationship because the data consistency of the Version 2 T-VOL will not be insured.

However, this system configuration differs from the system configuration that is used when IBM
FlashCopy Version 2 and PPRC are used in conjunction with one another.

“Whether Reverse Restore Can be Performed When a Version 2 S-VOL is Used as a TrueCopy for
Mainframe Volume” (page 57)

describes whether or not you can perform the Reverse Restore when

you share the Version 2 S-VOL and the volume of a TrueCopy for Mainframe pair.
