IBM Db2^® Cloning Tool for z/OS^® is used to clone a Db2^® subsystem or a Db2^® table space, and to create volume copies at a volume level by using Compatible FlashCopy^® V2. For more information about the tool, see the IBM^® documentation.

If a target volume of the copy operation with Compatible FlashCopy^® V2 applies to any volume described in the following table, performing the volume copy operation with IBM Db2^® Cloning Tool for z/OS^® displays a message CKZ02149W, and then the copy processing cannot be run. For more information about the message CKZ02149W, see the IBM^® documentation. Take the following action, and then retry the volume copy operation with IBM Db2^® Cloning Tool for z/OS^®.

Volume type and status	Cause and action
P-VOL of an SIz pair using ATTIME Suspend function (online)	Cause A P-VOL of an SIz pair cannot be used as a target volume of the copy with Compatible FlashCopy^® V2. For details, see Using Compatible FlashCopy^® with ShadowImage for Mainframe. Action Delete the SIz pair.
P-VOL of a TCz pair with Host I/O Time Stamp Transfer enabled, and whose pair status is Pending or Duplex	Cause A P-VOL of a TCz pair in the specified status cannot be used as a target volume when IBM Db2^® Cloning Tool for z/OS^® is used. (It is enabled by using FlashCopy to PPRC Primary Volume function regardless of whether Host I/O Time Stamp Transfer is enabled or disabled if IBM Db2^® Cloning Tool for z/OS^® is not used.) Action Delete the TCz pair. Alternatively, delete the TCz pair, disable Host I/O Time Stamp Transfer, and then retry pair creation. Business Continuity Manager or PPRC/GDPS disable Host I/O Time Stamp Transfer with the following settings applied: Business Continuity Manager: Set N for TIMESTAMP. PPRC/GDPS host command: Disable the function switch #36.
P-VOL of a URz pair whose Timer Type is SYSTEM or NONE, and whose pair status is Pending or Duplex	Cause A P-VOL of a URz pair in the specified status cannot be used as a target volume when IBM Db2^® Cloning Tool for z/OS^® is used. (It is enabled by using FlashCopy to URz Primary Volume function if IBM Db2^® Cloning Tool for z/OS^® is not used.) Action Delete the URz pair. Alternatively, suspend the URz pair. If the URz pair is suspended, resynchronize the URz pair after the copy operation with Compatible FlashCopy^® V2 is complete. The full differential data is copied with FlashCopy to URz Primary Volume function.

Cause and action

P-VOL of an SIz pair using ATTIME Suspend function (online)

Cause: A P-VOL of an SIz pair cannot be used as a target volume of the copy with Compatible FlashCopy^® V2. For details, see Using Compatible FlashCopy^® with ShadowImage for Mainframe.

Action: Delete the SIz pair.

P-VOL of a TCz pair with Host I/O Time Stamp Transfer enabled, and whose pair status is Pending or Duplex

Cause: A P-VOL of a TCz pair in the specified status cannot be used as a target volume when IBM Db2^® Cloning Tool for z/OS^® is used. (It is enabled by using FlashCopy to PPRC Primary Volume function regardless of whether Host I/O Time Stamp Transfer is enabled or disabled if IBM Db2^® Cloning Tool for z/OS^® is not used.)

Action

Delete the TCz pair. Alternatively, delete the TCz pair, disable Host I/O Time Stamp Transfer, and then retry pair creation.

Business Continuity Manager or PPRC/GDPS disable Host I/O Time Stamp Transfer with the following settings applied:

Business Continuity Manager: Set N for TIMESTAMP.
PPRC/GDPS host command: Disable the function switch #36.

P-VOL of a URz pair whose Timer Type is SYSTEM or NONE, and whose pair status is Pending or Duplex

Cause: A P-VOL of a URz pair in the specified status cannot be used as a target volume when IBM Db2^® Cloning Tool for z/OS^® is used. (It is enabled by using FlashCopy to URz Primary Volume function if IBM Db2^® Cloning Tool for z/OS^® is not used.)

Action: Delete the URz pair. Alternatively, suspend the URz pair. If the URz pair is suspended, resynchronize the URz pair after the copy operation with Compatible FlashCopy^® V2 is complete. The full differential data is copied with FlashCopy to URz Primary Volume function.
