22 Replication commands
Description
Displays help/usage and version information.
Terminates the interactive mode and exits the command.
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.
OpenVMS cannot use the -zx option.
Specifies the command as [HORC]/[HO] or [Continuous Access Synchronous]/[Business Copy],
and used when specifying the RAID Manager instance number.
Specifies a group name defined in the configuration definition file. The command is executed for
the specified group unless the -d <pair Vol> option is specified.
Specifies paired logical volume name defined in the configuration definition file. When this option
is specified, the command is executed for the specified paired logical volume.
-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). This option is effective without
specification of -g <group> option. If the specified the raw_device is contained in two or more
groups, the command is executed for the first group.
-d[g] <seq#> <LDEV#> [MU#]: Searches a group on the configuration definition file (local instance)
for the specified LDEV, and if the specified LDEV is in the group, the target volume is executed as
the paired logical volume (-d) or group (-dg). This option is effective without specification of -g
<group> option. If the specified LDEV is contained in two or more groups, the command is executed
on the first group. The <seq #> <LDEV #> values can be specified in hexadecimal (by addition of
"0x ") or decimal notation.
Continuous Access Synchronous and Continuous Access Journal only.
Specifies the fence level for assuring the consistency of paired volume data. A fence level of "data",
"status", "never", or "async" must be specified. Fence level "-f async" can be specified only for
Continuous Access Asynchronous/Cnt Ac-J. The "-fg" option is used to make Cnt Ac-S Sync CTG
volume, and fence level must be specified as "-fg data", "-fg status", or "-fg never".
A CTGID (CT Group ID) is assigned automatically if you do not specify the "CTGID" option in this
command and define it in the config file. If "CTGID" is not specified (with "-f async" or "-fg" option)
and the maximum number of CT groups already exists (e.g., 256 for P9500, XP24000/20000
Disk Arrays, and 128 (CTGID0 – CTGID 127) for XP12000 Disk Array/XP10000 Disk Arrays, 64
for XP1024/XP128 (CTGID0 to CTGID63), and 16 (CTGID0- CTGID15) for XP512/XP48 Disk
Arrays), an EX_ENOCTG error is returned. Therefore, the "CTGID" option can forcibly assign a
volume group to an existing CTGID (0- 1 5/63/127/255) on the RAID storage systems. The CTGID
option is ignored unless you specify the "-f async" or "-fg" option.
Specifies the direction of the pvol/svol relationship and must always be specified. The -vl or –pvol
option specifies a "local" pvol . The host which issues the command will possess the primary volume.
The -vr or –svol option specifies "remote" and the remote host possesses the primary volume while
the local host possesses the secondary volume. –pvol [ldevgrp] is used to make P-VOLs to the
specified ldev group. –svol [ldevgrp] is used to make S-VOLs to the specified ldev group. "-p(s)vol
<ldevgrp> option is valid for P9500.
Specifies the number of extents (1 - 15) to be used for the initial data copy. If this option is not
specified a default value is used.
Creates paired volumes without copying data when the data consistency of simplex volumes is
assured by the user.
