Depending on whether you created the target volumes for your FlashCopy mappings or you 
want the system to create the target volumes for you, the following options are available: 
/SM590000If you created the target volumes, see “Creating a FlashCopy mapping with existing target 
Volumes” on page 471.
/SM590000If you want the system to create the target volumes for you, see “Creating a FlashCopy 
mapping and target volumes” on page 475.
Creating a FlashCopy mapping with existing target Volumes
Complete the following steps to use target volumes for the FlashCopy mappings:
1. Right-click the volume that you want to create a FlashCopy mapping for, and select 
Advanced FlashCopy → Use Existing Target Volumes, as shown in Figure 11-22 on 
page 472.
Multiple FlashCopy mappings: To create multiple FlashCopy mappings at once, select 
multiple volumes by holding down Ctrl and clicking the entries that you want.
Attention: When starting a FlashCopy mapping from a source volume to a target volume, 
data that is on the target is over-written. The system does not prevent you from selecting a 
target volume that is mapped to a host and already contains data.
