Figure 37 Copy group containers with an EXCTG ID specified (Cnt Ac-J Z)

NOTE: Consistency is preserved for copy group containers with an EXCTG ID specified.

Configuration patterns that prohibit pair creation

Copy pair creation is prohibited in the following cases:

• When the capacities of the P-VOL and S-VOL are different (Business Copy Z/Continuous

Access Synchronous Z/TrueCopy Asynchronous for Mainframe/Continuous Access Journal

• When copy types are different within a copy group container (Continuous Access Synchronous

Z/TrueCopy Asynchronous for Mainframe/Continuous Access Journal Z)

• When copy groups contain some consistency group volumes (Business Copy Z/Continuous

Access Synchronous Z/TrueCopy Asynchronous for Mainframe/Continuous Access Journal

• When a copy group contains both a consistency group and copy pairs that are not in the

consistency group (Business Copy Z/Continuous Access Synchronous Z/TrueCopy

Asynchronous for Mainframe/Continuous Access Journal Z)

Figure 38 (page 73) through Figure 40 (page 74) show the configurations in which copy pair

creation is not allowed.

1. If you want to perform a migration, creation of a copy pair where the capacity of the S-VOL is larger than that of the

P-VOL might be allowed. For details, see the guide of the corresponding program.
