Notices on Flex Copy XP operations
• You can use only volumes of CU group 0 (whose CU:LDEV number is between 00:00 and 3F:FF) for
Flex Copy XP operations.
• Before performing Flex Copy XP operations, ensure that one or more normally functioning
microprocessors for CU group 0 exist.
• You cannot cancel all LU paths to a volume that is a member of a copy pair.
• Do not update volumes being used or managed by Flex Copy XP. Do not update external LUs on the
external array side.
• If you use the mapped external LU for the copy source or copy destination volume of the Flex Copy XP
pair, set the emulation type to OPEN-V when mapping the volume.
• If you use the mapped external LU for the copy source or copy destination volume of the Flex Copy XP
pair, set the IO Suppression mode to Enable when mapping the volume.
• Flex Copy XP does not perform difference management. Therefore, Flex Copy XP copy processing
always copies all data in the copy source volume to the copy destination volume.
