Error description

  • As part of the backup operation FlashCopy Manager figures out
    the storage LUN ids on which a FlashCopy or snapshot should be
    performed. When using Hitachi Data Systems (HDS) hardware
        with the Rocket Device Adapter Pack, FlashCopy Manager
        may fail to correctly identify those HDS storage LUN ids.
    The
        backup operation will fail in this case.
    

Local fix

  • A patch to correct this issue can be requested if needed prior
    to delivery of the 4.1.1. PTF
