Important
If a QUIESCE is needed for the index space, the table space that the index is associated with must be quiesced because the index space cannot be quiesced directly. (STARTRO on an index space and QUIESCE on its table space is used to establish consistency during initialization.) If the table space is COPY-pending status, it will not be quiesced unless it is being copied in the same group.

automatically issues a QUIESCE at the beginning of a SHRLEVEL REFERENCE or CONCURRENT copy, unless the space is in COPY-pending status, regardless of whether you otherwise specify a QUIESCE option. The quiesce operation must complete successfully for the COPY phase to begin. For more information, see
