FlashCopy Logical Drive and FlashCopy Repository Logical Drive Default Names

By default, the flashcopy name is shown in the FlashCopy logical drive name text box as:

[base-logical drive-name] - sequence-number

where sequence-number is the chronological number of the flashcopy relative to the base logical drive.

The default name for the associated flashcopy repository logical drive that is shown in the FlashCopy repository logical drive name text box is:

[base-logical drive-name] - R + sequence-number

For example, if you create the first flashcopy logical drive for a base logical drive called “Accounting,” then the default name of the flashcopy logical drive is “Accounting-1.” The default name of the associated flashcopy repository logical drive is “Accounting-R1.” The default name of the next flashcopy logical drive you create based on “Accounting” is “Accounting-2.” The corresponding flashcopy repository logical drive is named “Accounting-R2” by default.
