The default name for the associated FlashCopy repository logical drive that is shown in the FlashCopy repository logical drive name field is:

[base logical drive name] - R + sequence number

For example, if you are creating the first FlashCopy logical drive for a base logical drive called Accounting, then the default FlashCopy logical drive name will be Accounting-1, and the associated FlashCopy repository logical drive default name is Accounting-R1. The default name of the next FlashCopy logical drive you create based on Accounting will be Accounting-2, with the corresponding FlashCopy repository logical drive named Accounting-R2 by default.
