Multiple Relationship FlashCopy

Multiple Relationship FlashCopy allows a source to have FlashCopy relationships with multiple targets simultaneously. A source volume or extent can be FlashCopied to up to 12 target volumes or target extents, as illustrated in Figure 7-4.

Note: If a FlashCopy source volume has more than one target, that source volume can be involved only in a single incremental FlashCopy relationship.
