Error description

• DFSMSdss FULL VOLUME Flashcopy to a SPACE EFFICIENT target
  volume is rejected with messages:
  ADR918I (002)-DDTFP(03), FAST REPLICATION COULD NOT BE USED FOR
                           VOLUME volser, RETURN CODE 9
                           VOLUME volser WAS REJECTED FOR
                           QFRVOLS VOLUME REASON CODE C9 -
                           FLASHCOPY NOT SUPPORTED
  ADR938E (002)-DDTFP(03), FASTREPLICATION(REQUIRED) WAS SPECIFIED
                           BUT FAST REPLICATION COULD NOT BE USED
                           FOR VOLUME volser
  when the support for the 'New Function: Extent Space Efficient
  (Thin Provisioning) support for CKD on z/OS' is applied.
  
  QFRVOLS VOLUME reason code x'C9' (d'201') erroneously
  indicates that the volume does not support FlashCopy.

Local fix

• remove PTFs
  UA82299 UA82288 UA82297 for R220
  or
  UA82298 UA82287 UA82296 for R210
  This occurred when only Space-Efficient feature is present and
  there was neither Dataset-Level FlashCopy nor Volume Level
  FlashCopy. If Dataset-Level FlashCopy or Volume Level FlashCopy
  are enabled together with Space-Efficient feature, then this
  would not be a problem.
  or
  apply ++APAR AA51447 for R210 or R220
  F LLA,REFRESH and C ANTMAIN to implement the fix
  

Problem summary

  *                      Provisioning), the new function stated  *

  For backward compatibility, this APAR provided a fix to not fail
  the 'track-space efficient FlashCopy', if it is the only feature
  used in the system.
