BCV to BCV copy.

Hi folks,

We have an environment where we used to have a timefinder reletionship between a STD and a BCV. This was split off every night, and the BCV was mounted to be backed upto tape. Once a month, we would create a clone session between the BCV and another BCV device. This was used for a decision support system. All these devices resided on a DMX2000 running microcode 5670. We migrated the devices to a DMXSeries 3 running 5771 microcode. However when we attempted to create the clone session between the BCV and the clone BCV we got an error message. This relates to Primus solution emc137707.

As clone emulation is in place, I then attempted to create a timefinder reletionship between the production BCV, and the decision support BCV, so we could run symmir commands as opposed to symclone commands. However when attempting to do so the following is displayed:

The device must be a Standard device for this function.

Is there anyway for us to do a timefinder mirror/clone copy of the BCV device to another BCV device? We cannot attach the decision support BCV to the STD device, as we need the second BCV device to be an exact replica of the first. Any suggestions appreciated.
