Steps to reproduce the issue:-

1. Created volume "Ansible_volume_01" on source 192.168.67.7
2. Created volume "Ansible_volume_01" on first target CSSOS-SSA05
3. Created volume "Ansible_volume_01" on second target CSSOS-SSA06
4. Created RCG "ansible_CreateRCG-002" with target CSSOS-SSA05, with periodic mode.
5. Added volume "Ansible_volume_01" to RCG "ansible_CreateRCG-002"
6. Admit second target CSSOS-SSA06 with invalid targetVolumeName value.

Observation:

It is observed that issue is not reproduced, but found the another issue.
The new issue: After providing invalid targetVolumeName , admit target was successful and printed message as given below. But on 192.168.67.7, new target CSSOS-SSA06 was not added :-
"msg": "Admit remote copy target CSSOS-SSA06 successful in remote copy group ansible_CreateRCG-002."
