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.
