| Message | Explanation | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Source Volume not online or not found | The listed source volume is either offline or not a valid volume. | Bring the volume online or check with your systems programmer to ensure that the specified volume is valid. |
| Source Volume cannot be a BCV Device | For a BCV backup, the source volumes cannot be BCV devices. | If the specified volume is not valid, specify a valid volume. If the source volume is a BCV device, you must move the data from the BCV device to a non-BCV device. |
| Source Volume is not on a Symmetrix | The listed source volume is not on a Symmetrix array. | The source volume must be on a Symmetrix. Move the source volume to a Symmetrix array. |
| Target Unit not found | The specified target unit does not exist. | If the specified target unit is not valid, specify a valid unit. Otherwise, check with your systems programmer to ensure that the specified target unit is valid. If you plan to add the target units to the Symmetrix before running the backup, you can disregard this message. |
| Target Unit specified is not a BCV Device | The specified target unit is not a BCV device. For a BCV backup, all specified target units must be BCV devices. | Select a target unit that is a BCV device. |
| Target Unit is not on a Symmetrix | Each target unit must be on a Symmetrix. | Select a target unit that is located on a Symmetrix array. |
| Target BCV target_unit is established to source_volume | For BCV backups, this informational message lists the source volume to which the target unit is established. | None required. |
| Target Unit is paired to source_volume | For SNAP type backups, this message is displayed if the target is a BCV unit and is currently paired to a source volume. | None required. |
| Source volume has BCV unit_name established | For BCV backups, this informational message displays the target unit to which the source volume is established. | None required. |
| Source Volume is not Flash capable | The source volume does not reside in a storage subsystem that is FlashCopy® capable. | If the specified source volume is not valid, specify a valid volume. Or, move the source volume to a FlashCopy capable storage system. Otherwise, check with your systems programmer to ensure that the specified source volume is FlashCopy capable. |
| Target Unit is not Flash capable | For FlashCopy backups, the target volume cannot use FlashCopy to copy the volume. | If the specified target unit is not valid, specify a valid unit. Otherwise, check with your systems programmer to ensure that the specified target unit is FlashCopy capable. |
