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.
Splits the paired volume after the initial copy operation is complete. This option will return after
changed the state in P-VOL_PSUS & S-VOL_COPY immediately, and S-VOL state is changed to
"S-VOL_SSUS" after all data is copied.
-m <mode> Specifies the mode.
mode = noread (Business Copy only): Specifies the noread mode for hiding the secondary volume.
The secondary volume becomes read-disabled when this mode option is specified. The secondary
volume is read-enabled when this mode option is omitted.
NOTE:
option of pairresync command).
mode = cyl (XP1024/XP128 Disk Array only): Sets Continuous Access Synchronous bitmap difference
management to cylinder.
mode = trk (XP1024/XP128 Disk Array only): Sets Continuous Access Synchronous bitmap difference
management to track.
NOTE:
OPEN-3 and OPEN-9; default is cylinder for OPEN-E and OPEN-L.
For Continuous Access Synchronous volumes paired between XP1024/XP128 Disk Array storage
systems, the bitmap tables are managed at the Cylinder level, even if Track is specified.
mode=grp [CTGID] (XP1024/XP128, XP12000/XP10000, XP24000/XP20000 and P9500 disk
arrays; XP Business Copy Software only). Makes a group for splitting all Business Copy pairs
specified in a group. Like a Continuous Access Asynchronous/Cnt Ac-J consistency group, Business
Copy guarantees data consistency among multiple LUNs in a group at a single point in time when
doing a split using the "pairsplit -g <group>" command (except "-S" or "-E" option).
A CTGID (CT Group ID) is assigned automatically if you do not specify the "CTGID" option in this
command. If "CTGID" is not specified and the maximum number of CT groups already exists, an
EX_ENOCTG error is returned. Therefore, the "CTGID" option can forcibly assign a volume group
to an existing CTGID (e.g., 0-63 on XP1024/XP128 Disk Array).
NOTE:
restrictions below.
mode = cc (Business Copy only): Specifies the Cruising Copy mode for volume migration.
The -vl option specifies "local", and copies from the local instance LU(P-VOL) to the remote instance
LU(S-VOL). An original volume as the local instance LU is migrated from P-VOL to S-VOL, and the
physical volume mapping between P-VOL and S-VOL is swapped after copied. During the
maintenance work in the DKC (SVP is in modify mode), this operation cannot be completed.
The -vr option specifies "remote", and copies from the remote instance LU(P-VOL) to the local instance
LU(S-VOL). An original volume as the remote instance LU is migrated from P-VOL to S-VOL, and the
physical volume mapping between P-VOL and S-VOL is swapped after copied.
NOTE:
This option is ignored "-c <size>" option.
-jp <id> Continuous Access Synchronous and Continuous Access Journal only.
Basically, the Cnt Ac-J has the same characteristic as an Asynchronous Remote Copy journal, so
this option is used when specifying a journal ID for P-VOL.
Both the -jp <id> and -js <id> options are valid when the fence level is set to "ASYNC", and each
journal ID is automatically bound to the CTGID.
-js <id> Continuous Access Synchronous and Continuous Access Journal only.
This option is used when specifying a journal ID for S-VOL.
Both the -jp <id> and -js <id> options are valid when the fence level is set to "ASYNC", and each
journal ID is automatically bound to the CTGID.
The primary volume becomes read-disabled during a reverse resync operation (restore
If the mode (cyl or track) is not specified, the default values are used: default is track for
