6.6 Use in combination with XCOPY (Extended Copy)

When copying data by replicating VMwarer vSphere virtual machines or running Storage vMotion, Extended Copy (hereinafter referred to as "XCOPY") session starts by the Full Copy function of VMware vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VMware VAAI). However, Advanced Copy cannot be performed by AdvancedCopy Manager on the condition that a volume on which XCOPY session is running is taken as copy destination. For this reason, if you execute acopc start (OPC/QuickOPC copy start command) or acec start (Synchronous high-speed copy start command) on the condition that a volume which is copying data by replicating virtual machines or running Storage vMotion is taken as copy destintaion, an error message is displayed and the command may terminate abnormally.

If the command terminates abnormally, check on the Web Console or by accopy query (Copy session information display command) that no XCOPY session exists on the copy destination volume and then re-execute the command.
