one quarter, thereby improving host I/O response.
◦ (FC Z and FCSE only) FC Ext. Slower Copy1: When the MP operating ratio
of the MP blade to which the source volume or target volume in a

of the MP blade to which the source volume or target volume in a
Compatible FlashCopy relationship is allocated exceeds 50%, background
copy operations are suppressed, thereby improving the host I/O response.
