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

Options and parameters
DescriptionOption
Displays Help/Usage and version information.-h
Terminates the interactive mode and exits the pair volume check command.-q
Makes the pairvolchk command enter the interactive mode. The -zx option guards performing of the
HORCM in the interactive mode. When this option detects a HORCM shutdown, interactive mode
terminates.
-z or -zx
OpenVMS cannot use the -zx option
Specifies the command as [HORC]/[HOMRCF] or [Continuous Access Synchronous]/[Business Copy],
and used when specifying the RAID Manager instance number.
-I[H][M]
[instance#]
or
-I[CA][BC]
[instance#]
Specifies the group name defined in the configuration definition file. This option must always be
specified. The command is executed for the specified group unless the -d <pair Vol> option is
specified.
-g <group>
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 <pair Vol>
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
-d[g]
<raw_device>
[MU#] 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 on the
first group.
Searches a group on the configuration definition file (local instance) for the specified LDEV. If specified
LDEV is contained in the group, the target volume is executed as the paired logical volume (-d) or
-d[g] <seq#>
<LDEV#> [MU#]
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.
Checks the conformability of the paired volumes of the local and remote hosts and reports the volume
attribute of the remote host. If this option is not specified, the volume attribute of the local host is
reported.
-c
Used when acquiring the attribute of a volume and the pair status of a volume. If this option is not
specified, the volume attribute is reported.
-ss
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
Forcibly specifies a cascading Continuous Access Synchronous volume for specified pair logical
volumes on Business Copy environment. If no -c option is specified, this option acquires the attributes
-FHORC [MU#]
or -FCA [MU#]
of a cascading Continuous Access Synchronous volume on a local host (near site). If the -c option is
specified, this option acquires the attributes of a cascading Continuous Access Synchronous volume
on a remote host (far site).
Forcibly specifies a cascading Business Copy volume for specified pair logical volumes on Continuous
Access Synchronous environment. If no -c option is specified, acquires the attributes of a cascading
-FMRCF [MU#]
or -FBC [MU#]:
Business Copy volume on a local host (near site). If the -c option is specified, acquires the attributes
of a cascading Business Copy volume on a remote host (far site).
Shows the minimum active paths on specified group in HORC/HORCAsync on P-VOL.-MINAP
NOTE: If RAID F/W is not supporting the number of active paths, then “MINAP” item is not displayed
as follows.
pairvolchk : Volstat is P-VOL.[status = PAIR fence = ASYNC CTGID = 2]
See examples below.
