Creating FlashCopy consistency groups

You can create a FlashCopy® consistency group from the Creating FlashCopy Consistency Groups panel in SAN Volume Controller Console.

Fields

You can update the following fields:
FlashCopy Consistency Group Name
Enter a name for the FlashCopy consistency group. If you do not specify a name, the system assigns a default name.

The default name is the string fccstgrp, followed by a system-assigned ID. For example, if you do not specify a name in the FlashCopy Consistency Group Name field, fccstgrp1 is the name that is assigned to the first consistency group, fccstgrp2 is the name that is assigned to the second consistency group, and so on.

Automatically delete the consistency group when empty
Select this option to delete the consistency group if the last mapping in the group is deleted or moved out of the consistency group. When you select this option, the FlashCopy mapping table refreshes so only mappings that are enabled for automatic deletion are displayed. When you enable the Automatically delete option for the consistency group, all FlashCopy mappings within the consistency group are enabled for automatic deletion.
FlashCopy Mappings
Select a FlashCopy mapping to add to the consistency group. If you do not select any mappings, an empty consistency group is created.
