Hi!

I try to create a snap (VDEV) with the symsnap command but get this error message:

# symsnap -g xplucod2_u01 create -v BCV001 vdev ld VDEV001

Execute 'Create' operation for device 'BCV001'
in device group 'xplucod2_u01' (y/ ) ? y

'Create' operation execution is in progress for device 'BCV001'
paired with target device 'VDEV001' in
device group 'xplucod2_u01'. Please wait...


SELECTING the list of Source devices in the group:

Device: 085C [NOT SELECTED - SYMAPI_C_BCV_IS_BCV_ATTACHED]

The BCV device cannot be manipulated because it is BCV attached to a STD device




The devicegroup looks like this:

$ symld -g xplucod2_u01 list


Device Group (DG) Name: xplucod2_u01
DG's Type : REGULAR

Anyone who knows what's wrong?

If I run
# symsnap -g xplucod2_u01 create -v DEV001 vdev ld VDEV001

it works properly but I don't want the snap on the STD-device.
How can I create it on the the BCV ?


Best regards
