CMMVC8666E: The FlashCopy consistency group was not started because one or more of the source volumes are in an active-active relationship and do not contain an up-to-date copy or have host access enabled.

Explanation

HyperSwap volumes contain a copy on each site, and copying data from one site to the other introduces significant unnecessary data movement. For a FlashCopy consistency group that has one or more maps that copy data from a HyperSwap volume, the HyperSwap volume must have an up-to-date copy on the same site as the target volume of the FlashCopy mapping.

User Response

Allow the HyperSwap volume to synchronize fully before you start the FlashCopy mapping. Alternatively, create and use a FlashCopy mapping on the same site as the up-to-date copy of the HyperSwap volume.
