1 Overview of commands Unless otherwise specified, the term P9000 in this guide refers to the following disk array: P9500 Disk Array The GUI illustrations in this guide were created using a Windows computer with the Internet Explorer browser. Actual windows may differ depending on the operating system and browser used. GUI contents also vary with licensed program products, storage system models, and firmware versions.
Page 13 Table 1 Replication commands (continued) Command Description horctakeover Scripted command for executing multiple Continuous Access Synchronous and Continuous Access Journal takeover operations. It checks the specified volume’s or group’s attributes (paircurchk), decides the takeover function based on the attributes, executes the chosen takeover function, and returns the result.
Page 14 Table 2 Command tools for RAID Manager Subcommand Description inqraid Used to confirm the drive connection between the storage system and host system. The inqraid command displays the relation between special file(s) on the host system and actual physical drive of the RAID storage system. mkconf Used to make a configuration file from a special file (raw device file) provided via STDIN.

Page 21: Replication Commands
2 Replication commands This chapter provides specifications for the replication commands. paircreate CAUTION: Use the paircreate command with caution. The command starts the Continuous Access Synchronous, Continuous Access Journal, and Business Copy initial copy operations, which overwrite all data on the secondary/target volume. If the primary and secondary volumes are not identified correctly, or if the wrong options are specified (For example, vl instead of vr), data is transferred in the wrong direction and the data in the target of transferring will be overwritten.
Page 22: Options And Parameters
Options and parameters Option Description Displays help/usage and version information. Terminates the interactive mode and exits the command. -z or -zx Makes the paircreate command enter interactive mode. The -zx option guards performing of the HORCM in interactive mode. When this option detects a HORCM shutdown, interactive mode terminates.
Page 23 Option Description -nomsg Suppresses messages to be displayed when this command is executed. It is used to execute this command from a user program. This option must be specified at the beginning of a command argument. The command execution log is not affected by this option. -split Business Copy only.
Page 24 Option Description -pid <PID> Snapshot only. The user or application can specify the Pool ID so that they can specify independent ID for Snapshot pool different from [CTGID] for splitting at time. LDEVs in a group which was specified by “PID” belong to the specified Pool for the Snapshot. If “PID”...

Page 28: Pairsplit
NOTE: The pairresync command must be issued after CA_Sync volume became S-VOL_SSWS or P-VOL_COPY/PAIR through the horctakeover command. Figure 6 Takeover example used to suspend a journal volume pairsplit The pairsplit command is used to split and delete volume pairs. This command stops updates to the secondary volume of a pair and can either maintain (status = PSUS) or delete (status = SMPL) the pairing status of the volumes.
Page 29: Syntax
the volume pair is deleted, the volumes are returned to the simplex state, and the primary and secondary volume status is lost. Paired volumes are split as soon as the pairsplit command is issued. If you want to synchronize the volumes, the pairsplit command must be issued after write I/Os to the paired volume have completed.
Page 30 Option Description -d <pair Vol> Specifies the paired logical volume name defined in the configuration definition file. When this option is specified, the command is executed for the specified paired logical volumes. -d[g] <raw_device> [MU#]: Searches a group on the configuration definition file (local instance) for the specified raw_device, and if the specified raw_device is contained in the group, the target volume is executed as the paired logical volume (-d) or group (-dg).
Page 31: Returned Values
Option Description Business Copy only. Suspends a paired volume forcibly when a failure occurs. Not normally used. -FHORC [MU#] or -FCA [MU#]: Forcibly specifies a cascading Continuous Access Synchronous volume for specified volume pair on Business Copy environment. If the -l option is specified, a cascading Continuous Access Synchronous volume is split on a local host (near site).
Page 32: Examples
Table 9 Specific error codes for pairsplit Category Error code Error message Recommended action Value Volume status EX_ENQVOL Unmatched volume Confirm status using the pairdisplay status within the group command. Make sure all volumes in the group have the same fence level and volume attributes.
Page 33 Pairresync terminates before resynchronization of the secondary (or primary) volume is complete. Use the pair event waiting (pairevtwait) or pairdisplay command to verify that the resync operation completed successfully (status changes from COPY to PAIR). The execution log file also shows completion of the resync operation.

This option must always be specified.
Page 36 Option Description -swapp Continuous Access Synchronous and Journal Software. Executes the equivalent of a -swaps from the original P-VOL side. Unlike -swaps, -swapp does require the cooperation of hosts at both sides. Replication commands...
Page 37 Option Description -fq <mode> XP1024/XP128 Disk Array Business Copy only. Specifies the mode whether “pairresync” is performed or not as “QUICK”. mode = normal pairresync is performed as Non quick mode regardless of setting of $HORCC_RSYN environment variable and/or the system option mode 87 via SVP. mode = quick pairresync is performed as Quick Resync regardless of setting of $HORCC_RSYN environment variable and/or the system option mode 87 via SVP.
Page 38 Option Description Continuous Access Asynchronous and Continuous Access Journal only. These options are valid for only HORC Async/Cnt Ac-J, if you will specify “-cto <o-time> [c-time] [r-time]” option on HORC sync, then it is ignored. o-time:This option is used when setting “offloading timer” for controlling Inflow of Write I/O to the specified CT group.
Page 39: Returned Values
Returned values The pairresync command sets the following returned values during exit, allowing you to check the execution results. Normal termination: 0. When resynchronizing groups, 0 = normal termination for all pairs. Abnormal termination: Other than 0, see the execution logs for error details. Error codes Unrecoverable errors are fixed and not resolved, even after re-executing the command.
Page 40: Pairevtwait
Figure 15 Swap operation Figure 16 Example of -swaps option with -FHORC [MU#] pairevtwait The pairevtwait (pair event waiting) command is used to wait for completion of pair creation and pair resynchronization and to confirm the status of pair operations. It waits (“sleeps”) until the paired volume status becomes identical to a specified status and then completes.

If the -l option is specified, this option tests status of a cascading Business Copy volume on a local host (near site). If no -l option is specified, this option tests status of a cascading Business Copy volume on a remote host (far site).

The horctakeover command suspends G2(CA-Jnl) automatically if horctakeover returns “Swap-takeover” as an exit code. In DC1 host failure, if APP1 wants to wait until DC3 becomes the suspend state, then they can verify the “SSUS” state by using the pairevtwait command as shown below.

Page 69 Option Description -find inst Registers the Device File name (raw device file provided via STDIN) to all mirror descriptors of the LDEV map table for HORCM, permits the matching volumes on horcm.conf in protection mode, and is started automatically by “/etc/horcmgr”. Therefore, you will not need to use this option normally. This option will also be terminated to avoid wasteful scanning when the registration has been finished with based on HORCM.
Page 70 Option Description -find verify Verifies the relation between Group on the configuration definition file and Device_File registered [MU#] to the LDEV map tables, based on the Device File name (raw device file provided via STDIN).
