CMMVC5974E: The operation was not performed because the consistency group is offline.

Explanation

This error may occur because one or more of the source or target volumes for relationships within the consistency group is offline. It might also be caused if one or more of the source or target volumes are inaccessible because it is participating in a FlashCopy mapping that is prepared or incomplete.

User Response

Perform the following steps:
  • Ensure that at least one of the nodes in the I/O group of each of the source and target volumes is online.
  • Ensure that the source and target volumes for each relationship in the consistency group are online.
  • Correct any problems that may be holding the source or target volumes offline. For example, a thin-provisioned volume may be held offline if all available space is allocated.
  • Ensure that any FlashCopy mappings that involve the source or target volumes for each relationship are complete.
  • Fix all of the unfixed events in the event log.
