Gadi, You are correct, you cannot flash to a Global Mirror primary. I sincerely doubt you want to terminate your Global Mirror relationships so that you can do a DFDSS backup of a group of volumes either. If you did then you would need to do a full push of your data for those volumes.
I prefer to replicate everything using Global Mirror so an additional backup normally is not needed. However if you have a smaller subset of volumes that you want to flash and do a backup of, those need to be removed from your Global Mirror Session. Those volumes could be in a separate group where you Flash/backup and then establish a XD relationship (outside of GM). They will not be consistent with the rest of your GM environment though.

When DEBUG(FRMSG(SUMMARIZED)) is specified, return code X'9' is followed by summarized volume information that consists of reason codes that indicate why one or more volumes are not eligible. For each reason code issued, the number of volumes failing for that reason is provided. The reason codes include SDM QFRVOLS volume reason codes (qfrvols_vrsn) and extent reason codes (qfrvols_xrsn). You can use the DEVSRV (DS P) command to check any P-P relationship Carmen Vitullo ----- Original Message ----- From: "גדי בן אבי" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2017 6:22:11 AM Subject: Problem after starting PPRC Hi, Yesterday we established PPRC (Global Mirror) relationships between our local DS8884 and our remote DS8884. This is our first venture into the storage replication area. We have a series of jobs that use flashcopy to copy a volume to a secondary volume, and then backu to secondary to tape. This is done using DFSMSdss. The command looks like this: COPY FULL ADMINISTRATOR INDYNAM(SCR016) OUTDYNAM(FLSH04) - DUMPCONDITIONING FASTREPLICATION(REQUIRED) PURGE ALLDATA(*) - ALLEXCP CANCELERROR IF LASTCC = 0 THEN DUMP FULL ADMIN INDYNAM(FLSH04) OUTDDNAME(OUTPUT) ALLDATA(*) - ALLEXCP OPTIMIZE(4) CANCELERROR When the jobs ran last night it returned: PAGE 0001 5695-DF175 DFSMSDSS V2R01.0 DATA SET SERVICES 2017.334 05:29 COPY FULL ADMINISTRATOR INDYNAM(SCR016) OUTDYNAM(FLSH04) - DUMPCONDITIONING FASTREPLICATION(REQUIRED) PURGE ALLDATA(*) - ALLEXCP CANCELERROR ADR101I (R/I)-RI01 (01), TASKID 001 HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO COMMAND 'COPY ' IF LASTCC = 0 THEN ADR101I (R/I)-RI01 (01), TASKID 002 HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO COMMAND 'IF ' DUMP FULL ADMIN INDYNAM(FLSH04) OUTDDNAME(OUTPUT) ALLDATA(*) - ALLEXCP OPTIMIZE(4) CANCELERROR ADR101I (R/I)-RI01 (01), TASKID 003 HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO COMMAND 'DUMP ' ADR109I (R/I)-RI01 (01), 2017.334 05:29:33 INITIAL SCAN OF USER CONTROL STATEMENTS COMPLETED ADR016I (001)-PRIME(01), RACF LOGGING OPTION IN EFFECT FOR THIS TASK ADR006I (001)-STEND(01), 2017.334 05:29:33 EXECUTION BEGINS ADR918I (001)-DDTFP(03), FAST REPLICATION COULD NOT BE USED FOR VOLUME SCR016, RETURN CODE 9 1 VOLUME WAS REJECTED FOR QFRVOLS VOLUME REASON CODE 2 - PPRC PRIM CURRENTLY ACTIVE ADR938E (001)-DDTFP(03), FASTREPLICATION(REQUIRED) WAS SPECIFIED BUT FAST REPLICATION COULD NOT BE USED FOR VOLUME SCR016 ADR006I (001)-STEND(02), 2017.334 05:29:33 EXECUTION ENDS ADR013I (001)-CLTSK(01), 2017.334 05:29:33 TASK COMPLETED WITH RETURN CODE 0008 ADR016I (003)-PRIME(01), RACF LOGGING OPTION IN EFFECT FOR THIS TASK ADR006I (003)-STEND(01), 2017.334 05:29:34 EXECUTION BEGINS ADR006I (003)-STEND(02), 2017.334 05:51:15 EXECUTION ENDS ADR013I (003)-CLTSK(01), 2017.334 05:51:15 TASK COMPLETED WITH RETURN CODE 0000 ADR012I (SCH)-DSSU (01), 2017.334 05:51:15 DFSMSDSS PROCESSING COMPLETE. HIGHEST RETURN CODE IS 0008 FROM: TASK 001 From what I read, I have to remove the PPRC connection for the Flashcopy Target, and then reestablish it (maybe). Am I correct? How can I do this in batch, hopefully only specifying the VOLSER’s.
