IBM SVC error

I am configuring SRM to work with an SVC. So far everything has

gone well, I have configured the array in SRM with no issues and see my

volumes. When running a test failover during the "prepare storage for

test' section I get an error that says "non-fatal error information

reported during execution of array integration script: Failed to create

lun snapshots." After this error the test stops.

I am using global mirrior to replicate

data but do not have licensing for flash copy. Do I need flash copy

licensed? It does not mention this in the SRA documentation but it

seems like that is the issue.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Jeff,

I have SRM setup in our production environment on IBM DS4700's. I can confirm that you do require flash copy to successfully run SRM tests. I believe you can get away without a flashcopy licence if you do not require the test functionality.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Steven
