You are attempting a FlashCopy operation and the operation has failed because a VM host has set a Special Intercept Condition (SIC) on the FlashCopy source or target volume. This SIC is set by a VM host to prevent access to a volume by certain operations. You must reset the SIC to use the DS Command-Line Interface (CLI) to perform the FlashCopy operation on these volumes, or you can use VM host commands to perform the FlashCopy operation. You cannot perform a FlashCopy operation using the CLI to a source or target volume that is attached to a VM host.
Make sure you have selected the correct FlashCopy source and target volumes. If you want to remove the SIC you must detach the volume from the VM host. Resubmit the CLI FlashCopy operation or use VM host commands to perform the FlashCopy operation. If the problem persists, contact IBM technical support for assistance.
