CMMVC6246E: The FlashCopy mapping was not created because the target volume is already a source volume in a FlashCopy mapping.

Explanation

A volume cannot simultaneously be both the source of a FlashCopy mapping and the target of a FlashCopy mapping. The target volume that you have specified is currently defined as the source of a FlashCopy mapping.

User Response

You have two options. One option is specify a different target volume and resubmit the command. The other option is delete all of the existing FlashCopy mappings that contain the target volume that you have specified and resubmit the command.
