copy pair status is reported wrongly as
the SIMPLEX status.
This problem may occur when all of the
following conditions are met:
• Create an BC copy pair structured
by more than two S-VOLs to one
P-VOL.
• Remove a part of the copy pair
created above.
• Execute Fast Query function or
YKEWAIT command to the copy
pairs remained.

The following restriction of 06-60-00 was removed.
The following features cannot be used with P9500.

Restrictions#
In a configuration in which supported XP and P9000 disk arrays coexist, BCM can manage a configuration only
when it consists of devices whose serial numbers are not duplicates. Each device in the configuration must have a
unique serial number.
1
If you issue the YKQUERY, YKQRYDEV, or YKEWAIT command to a BC copy group in an XP1024 disk array
immediately after executing the YKDELETE command, these commands may report the status of a copy pair to be
2
SIMPLEX even though the actual status is in the middle of transition to SIMPLEX (not fully becoming SIMPLEX).
Therefore, when issuing the YKMAKE command to the same BC volumes after executing the YKDELETE command,
wait for approximately 10 seconds before issuing the YKMAKE command.
When using BCM to operate from L-site in a 4x4x4 Multi-Target configuration with Delta Resync, do not perform
the resync operation on a Cnt Ac-J copy pair that automatically became suspended after performing Reverse Resync
on Cnt Ac-S copy pairs to avoid forming 3DC Cascade configuration.
3
When using BCM to operate from L-site in a 4x4x4 Multi-Target configuration with Delta Resync, start the business
operation after Cnt Ac-S and Cnt Ac-J copy pairs are formed so that the Multi-Target configuration is established.
4
BCM does not support recovery procedure from failure in 4x4x4 Multi-Target configuration with Delta Resync by
misoperation. In this case, the following assistance is provided if needed.
If you need to call technical support, make sure to provide as much information about the problem as possible,
including:

• The circumstances surrounding the error or failure.
• The content of any error message(s) displayed on the host system(s).
• The content of any error message(s) displayed on Remote Web Console.
• The Remote Web Console configuration information (use the FD Dump Tool).
• The service information messages (SIMs), including reference codes and severity levels, displayed by Remote
Web Console.
