1895: Unrecovered FlashCopy mappings

Explanation

This error might be reported after the recovery action for a cluster failure or a complete I/O group failure. The error is reported because some FlashCopies, whose control data is stored by the I/O group, were active at the time of the failure and the current state of the mapping could not be recovered.

User Response

To fix this error it is necessary to delete all of the FlashCopy mappings on the I/O group that failed.

  1. Note the I/O group index against which the error is logged.
  2. List all of the FlashCopy mappings that are using this I/O group for their bitmaps. You should get the detailed view of every possible FlashCopy ID. Note the IDs of the mappings whose IO_group_id matches the ID of the I/O group against which this error is logged.
  3. Note the details of the FlashCopy mappings that are listed so that they can be re-created.
  4. Delete all of the FlashCopy mappings that are listed. Note: The error will automatically be marked as "fixed" once the last mapping on the I/O group is deleted. New mappings cannot be created until the error is fixed.
  5. Using the details noted in step 3, re-create all of the FlashCopy mappings that you just deleted.
