Suspending FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 Pairs
FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pairs may be suspended if a hardware or software failure occurs during
FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 operation. If FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pairs are suspended, hosts may be
unable to access copy target datasets.
To find whether suspended FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pairs exist within the volumes, use the
ShadowImage z/OS main panel (see ” ShadowImage Main Window ” on page 42). If the Relation(s)
column of the volume list displays S-Failed or T-Failed, a suspended FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pair exists
within the volume.
To delete a suspended FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pair, do one of the following:
• Delete the copy target dataset that have the suspended FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pair (i.e., the
dataset that is inaccessible from hosts). The operating system will automatically recognize the pair that
has the dataset to be deleted, and will issue the Withdraw command.
• Issue the TSO FCWITHDR command. If the suspended FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 pair can be
identified, please issue the FCWITHDR command to its extent. For detailed information about the
FCWITHDR command, see ” Withdrawing FlashCopy Mirror Version 2 Pairs: FCWITHDR ” on
page 114.

2 Requirement on the
capacity of the S-VOL
and T-VOL for volume
copy operation
S-VOL = T-VOL S-VOL = T-VOL
3 S-VOL/T-VOL LSS Can create pairs with only volumes in
the same LSS.
Can create pairs with volumes in the
same LSS or different LSS.
4 Range of extents Can create pairs with the entire source
and target volumes, or with the copy
source and target extents that located
at the same position on the source and
target volumes.
Can create pairs with the entire source
and target volumes, or with the copy
source and target extents located at the
same or different position on the source
and target volumes.
5 Unit used for pair
management
Pairs are managed by volume. Even
when multiple datasets on the same
volume are specified, the number of
pair is regarded as 1.
Pairs are managed by the specified
extents, or by volume when the entire
volume is specified. When multiple
datasets are specified on the same
volume, each dataset is regarded as a
pair.
6 Number of pairs
created with a source
1 pair can be created with 1 source
volume.
Maximum of 16 pairs can be created
with 1 source extent.
7 Requirements for
creating pairs
Pairs can be created with simplex SIz
volumes. It is also possible to create
pairs which specify split or duplex SIz
S-VOL or T-VOL as the source.
SIz S-VOL that already forms pair with
three T-VOLs cannot be specified as
S-VOL of a FlashCopy Mirror pair.
Pairs can be created with simplex SIz
volumes. It is also possible to create
pairs which specify split or duplex SIz
S-VOL or T-VOL as the source.
Up to 16 FlashCopy Mirror Version 2
pairs can be created by specifying the
SIz S-VOL that already forms pair with
three T-VOLs.
