Add Time Locks to Flash Copy Sessions to prevent an overwrite of FC data

CSM will add a property to FC sessions that will prevent users from being able to "reflash" the session in x hours (similar to SGC)

  • This option prevents customers from reflashing over the last "good" flash

CSM will add a property to FC sessions to allow the customer to set the 'Target Write Inhibit' option on each FlashCopy relationship.

  • This option prevents any "writes" from occuring on the FC targets ensuring the data remains the same as at the time of the Flash
