Displaying information about FlashCopy volumes

The FCQUERY command displays the Copy Services status of a device. The possible Copy Services functions are XRC, PPRC, concurrent copy, and FlashCopy®.

For devices which are licensed for FlashCopy V1 only, the FCQUERY command displays information only about FlashCopy. If a device is in a FlashCopy relationship, information about the other device in the FlashCopy relationship is also displayed. If information about both devices in a FlashCopy relationship is available, information about the source device is reported first, followed by information about the target device. Otherwise, only information about the requested device is reported. If a background copy is in progress on the device, the percentage of the completed background copy process is also displayed. If the device is not in any source or target FlashCopy relationship, the FCQUERY report shows the status as SIMPLEX.

The following examples show the results of using the FCQUERY command on a device that is enabled with FlashCopy V1.

For devices that are licensed for FlashCopy V2 or space efficient FlashCopy, the FCQUERY report shows available information about FlashCopy and other copy services relationships active on the device. If the device is not in any source or target FlashCopy relationship, the FCQUERY report shows the number of active FlashCopy relationships as 0.

The following examples show the results of using the FQUERY command on a device that is enabled with FlashCopy V2.

     FCQUERY DEVN(0F48)
