FLASHCOPY reqtype INVALID - SOURCE AND TARGET DEVICES NUMBERS MUST BE DIFFERENT

Explanation

A FlashCopy® request reqtype is invalid. For a FlashCopy establish or withdraw request, if you do not specify the source and target extents on the request, the default is to process all source device tracks. However, this message was issued because you provided identical source and target device numbers on the request, and you did not meet the following conditions:
  • For the FlashCopy establish request, the XTNTLST parameter must be specified.
  • For the FlashCopy withdraw request, one of the following conditions must be met:
    • The XTNTLST parameter must be specified.
    • The DDSW(YES) parameter must be specified (with or without the XTNTLST parameter).

System action

The request is rejected.

System programmer response

Modify the request to either satisfy the conditions that allow the source and target device numbers to be the same, or change the source and target numbers to be different. Resubmit the request.
