## Multiple Target FlashCopy 

In Multiple Target FlashCopy, a source volume can be used in multiple FlashCopy mappings, while the target is a different volume, as shown in Figure 6-4.

Up to 256 different mappings are possible for each source volume. These mappings are independently controllable from each other. Multiple Target FlashCopy mappings can be members of the same or different Consistency Groups. In cases where all the mappings are in the same Consistency Group, the result of starting the Consistency Group will be to FlashCopy to multiple identical target volumes. 

## Cascaded FlashCopy 

With Cascaded FlashCopy, you can have a source volume for one FlashCopy mapping and as the target for another FlashCopy mapping; this is referred to as a CascadedFlashCopy . This function is illustrated in Figure 6-5.

A total of 255 mappings are possible for each cascade.
