CMMVC8663E: The command has failed because the specified volume is a target of a FlashCopy mapping with a source volume in an active-active relationship and the storage pool for the new copy is in a different site to the source volume.

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 mapping that copies data from a HyperSwap® volume, the source volume of the FlashCopy mapping must be entirely on the same site as the target volume. This command would spread the volume across both sites.

User Response

Retry the command with the new volume copy in the same site as the existing volume copy.
