HP P9000 RAID Manager Reference Guide (T1610-96037, October 2011)

DescriptionOption
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 target Business Copy volume
must be P-VOL or SMPL.
Searches a group on the configuration definition file (local instance) for the specified LDEV, and if
the specified LDEV is contained in the group, the target volume is executed as the paired logical
-d[g] <seq#>
<LDEV#> [MU#]
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.
Specifies the waiting status, which is “smpl”, “copy/rcpy”, “pair”, “psus”, or “psue/pdub”. If two
or more statuses are specified following -s, waiting is done according to the logical OR of the specified
statuses. This option is valid when the -nowait option is not specified.
-s <status>
Specifies the waiting status, which is “smpl”, “copy”(“RCPY” is included), “pair”, “ssus”,”psue” on
S-VOL. If two or more statuses are specified following -s, waiting is done according to the logical
OR of the specified statuses. This option is valid when the -nowait option is not specified.
-ss <status>
Specifies the interval of monitoring a status specified using the -s option and the time-out period in
units of 1 sec. Unless [interval] is specified, the default value is used. This option is valid when the
-t <timeout>
[interval]
-nowait option is not specified. If <timeout> is specified more than 1999999, then “WARNING”
message appears.
When this option is specified, the pair status at that time is reported without waiting. The pair status
is set as a returned value for this command. When this option is specified, the -t and -s options are
not needed.
-nowait
When this option is specified, the pairing status on S-VOL at that time is reported without waiting.
The pairing status is set as a returned value for this command. When this option is specified, the -t
and -s options are not needed.
-nowait[s]
When this command cannot utilize a remote host for host down, this option executes this command
by a local host only. The target volume of a local host must be SMPL or P-VOL. (Business Copy
volumes are able to specify from S-VOL.)
-l
Suppresses messages to be displayed when this command is executed. It is used to execute a
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.
-nomsg
