Filtering FlashCopy consistency groups

You can specify filter criteria from the Filtering FlashCopy® Consistency Groups panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console. The filter criteria that you specify control the FlashCopy consistency groups that are displayed on the panel.

Introduction

Filtering is useful when you have a large number of consistency groups. The criteria that you select determine which Consistency Groups are displayed on the panel. If you click Refresh, a current list of Consistency Groups is retrieved and is displayed on the panel.
