Delayed consistent point-in-time copy from a secondary volume of a consistent asynchronous mirror copy
Provided are techniques for delayed consistent point-in-time copy from a secondary device in an asynchronous mirror relationship. A consistent asynchronous mirror copy is performed that includes an asynchronous mirror copy from a primary volume to a secondary volume and a point-in-time copy from the secondary volume to a tertiary volume. An initiation of a point-in-time establish from the secondary volume to an accessible consistent copy volume is received. A point-in-time reservation is created by storing metadata for a point-in-time relationship from the secondary volume to the accessible consistent copy volume. In response to a commit of the point-in-time copy from the secondary volume to the tertiary volume, a point-in-time copy from the secondary volume to the accessible consistent copy volume to store a consistency group is completed.
