George, Have you checked out (I always search the internet for messages you post) the REDBOOK z/OS Version 1 Release 13 Implementation It has the following section: 6.21 Fast replication ARC1809I messages Fast replication backup processing issues excessive ARC1809I messages when reporting the reason why a target volume cannot be paired to a source volume. The ARC1809I RC2 message indicates that a source and target cannot be paired because the target volume has already been matched with a different source. For a single FRBACKUP command, the ARC1809I RC2 can be issued many times for each target volume. In previous releases, a patch command can be used to turn off all ARC1809I messages. In z/OS V1R13 a new SETSYS command called FASTREPLICATION will replace the existing patch to enable or disable the redundant ARC1809I messages. This enhancement will decrease the number of ARC1809I RC2 messages such that the message will be issued no more than once per target volume for each storage group in the copy pool. If you currently have PATCH .FRGCB.+9 BITS(.1......) in your ARCCMDxx parmlib member, you should replace the patch with the desired command as follows: SETSYS FASTREPLICATION(VOLUMEPAIRMESSAGES(YES|NO)) YES YES indicates that the ARC1809I RC2 messages should be issued when a target volume cannot be paired with a source volume. NO NO indicates that the ARC1809I RC2 messages should not be issued. You might want to see if the ARC1809I is reasonable or not.
