Hi: The AE and AF codes indicate to me that likely there is an already in play
flash going on.
Try waiting a while and trying again.
You can have up to 12 targets on a single flashcopy commands.
X'AE' Command cannot complete because the target of the new FLASHCOPY is
already a target for an existing FLASHCOPY. Any single track may have
only one source at a time. If a previous FLASHCOPY is still completing
in the background, and its target extents overlap with the target
extents of the current FLASHCOPY, this error condition will result.
X'AF' Command cannot complete because the target of the new FLASHCOPY is
already a source for an existing FLASHCOPY. Any single track may not
be both a source and a target track, and a target track may have only
one source at a time. If a previous FLASHCOPY is still completing in
the background, and its source extents overlap with the target extents
of the current FLASHCOPY, this error condition will result.

Subject: [IBMVM] FLASHCOPY Challenges/Questions Getting HCPCMM296E
I am trying to flashcopy a single source volume to multiple target volume=
s
in an EXEC. The first two FLASHCOPY commands appear to work. However the
volumes following that get the following error message:
>>> "CP FLASHCOPY 7000 0 3338 TO 704B 0 3338" =
HCPCMM296E Status is not as required - 7000; an unexpected condition
HCPCMM296E occurred while executing a FLASHCOPY command, code = AF.
+++ RC(296) +++ =

+++ RC(296) +++
Is there a limit on how many copies with a single source I can do at once=
?
Also, is there a way to tell the status of the background activities an=
d
when they are complete? These volumes were the secondary part of a PPR=
C
pair. I have run the ICKDSF SEVER process to sever the connection. They n=
o
longer should be used as the targets for PPRC. Is that having an effect? =

The first two volumes that worked are the same so I don't know what is
causing the problem on the third and succeeding volumes. Thanks for any
help.
