Zaromil, The PPRC commands to create a TrueCopy pair in the same Controller with a loopback will work as long as you do not have Shadowimage installed.
With Shadowimage installed the controller will note the Primary and Secondary have the same Storage Control Unit and will create a Shadowimage pair instead of a TrueCopy pair.

The PPRC license for HDS subsystems is also based on capacity, as far as I know. Everytime I had no more PPRC capacity available I got some weird ANTPmessage, but I would say it was different from what you have got. Now , it could also depend of the HDS subsystem that you have. Anyway, what is the capacity of your 208 volumes (or, if these are 208 volume pairs and all in the same subsystem, you would need the capacity of both all primary and secondary volumes) and check the licensed capacity with the storage navigator (or let the support person do that). If you want to check the PPRC messages, set msgid in TSO profile to get message ids and look into MVS System Messages Volume 1 (ABA - AOM) under ANTP (PPRC ANT) messages, although they can be often misleading (at least when you have some atypical problems on HDS subsystems). -- Zaromil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
