You cannot select a volume in Pending Duplex or Duplex status as a source volume.

If you create a Universal Replicator for Mainframe pair for a delta resync operation in a 3DC multi-target configuration, the primary volume or the secondary volume of the delta resync pair can be used as a source volume. To use the primary or secondary volume as a source volume, you must ensure that the status of each pair in the 3 DC multi-target configuration is as shown in the tables given below.

The following figure shows a 3DC multi-target configuration.
