CMMVC8660E: The Create FlashCopy mapping task cannot be initiated because the source volume is in an active-active relationship and the target volume and map are not in the same site as 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. When you create a FlashCopy mapping to copy data on a HyperSwap® volume, the source volume of the FlashCopy mapping must be the HyperSwap® volume copy that is on the same site as the target volume.

User Response

Retry the command, specifying as a source volume the HyperSwap® volume copy that is on the same site as the target volume.
