A FlashCopy® withdraw request failed because the maximum number of active FlashCopy relationships has been reached for a device specified on the request. The withdraw request caused existing relationships to be split, and as a result, the maximum number of relationships for the device was reached.
FlashCopy withdraw request not completed.
The FlashCopy withdraw request could not be completed successfully, and as a result some of the extents specified on the request can have been withdrawn and some will not have been withdrawn. IBM® cannot ensure the integrity of the data copied for the extents that were withdrawn because they can be associated with the extents that could not be withdrawn. You will need to withdraw all extents for the affected device and submit a FlashCopy establish request to reestablish FlashCopy relationships needed. Use the FlashCopy query request to determine the current status of source and target devices specified on the FlashCopy withdraw request. See z/OS DFSMS Advanced Copy Services for examples of FlashCopy query output.
