FMM19187E The state rccg_state of the Metro Mirror consistency group rccg_name is not valid for a consistent FlashCopy backup.
Explanation
For a remote FlashCopy to be started, IBM Storage Protect Snapshot requires the Metro Mirror consistency group to be in a consistent synchronized state.
Operator response
Use the IBM SAN Volume Controller Storage Management GUI or command-line interface (SVC CLI) to fix the problem. The consistency group that contains the Metro Mirror relationships, between the source and target volumes, must be started before the remote FlashCopy backup begins. In addition, the Metro Mirror consistency group must be in a consistent synchronized state.
