Action when the pool is full

Since usage amount in the pool is managed in units of tracks, you cannot write to the pool when the pool is full.

The usage amount in the pool is managed in units of pages, and the usage amount of the TSE-VOL is managed in units of tracks in a page. When pages cannot be allocated because the pool is full, you can write to the pool until all tracks in the page are used.

Changing volume status to online

After you change the T-VOL status of a FlashCopy® relationship to online and then change it to offline and execute Fast Reverse Restore, you can change the new S-VOL status to online.

After you change the T-VOL status of a Compatible FlashCopy® SE relationship to online and then change it to offline and execute Fast Reverse Restore, you cannot change the new S-VOL status to online because the data might be inconsistent.
