*3: A cascade copy cannot be performed when a copy source and destination volume is in an older ETERNUS Disk
storage system model.
*4: When copy session 1 uses the REC Consistency mode, the data transmission sequence of copy session 1 is
guaranteed, but the data transmission sequence of copy session 2 is not guaranteed.
• A cascade copy can be performed when the copy type for copy session 1 is XCOPY or ODX. The copy
destination area for XCOPY or ODX and the copy source area for copy session 2 do not have to be
completely identical. For example, a cascade copy can be performed when the copy source area for
copy session 2 is only part of the copy destination area for copy session 1.
XCOPY or ODX cannot be set as the copy type for copy session 2 in a cascade copy.
