CMMVC9019E: The FlashCopy mapping was not created because the source volume is already in the maximum number of FlashCopy mappings.

Explanation

The number of FlashCopy mappings in which a volume can be defined as the source volume is limited. The source volume that was specified cannot be defined to another FlashCopy mapping because it is already defined as the source volume to the maximum number of FlashCopy mappings.

User Response

You have two options. One option is to specify a different source volume and resubmit the command. The other option is to delete one of the existing FlashCopy mappings that contains the source volume and resubmit the command.
