If the target volume is related to another volume as a copy pair, and not as a command device, the pair relationship is
displayed.
NOTE:
• If the YKQRYDEV command is executed on the HP StorageWorks XP1024/XP128 Disk Array,
N/A will be displayed as the command device information (APID).
• Volume information cannot be obtained when the command device on the remote site has not
been registered (the YKBLDCMD command has not been executed). In this case, if you execute
the YKQRYDEV command, an I/O error will occur, and N/A will be displayed for all items in
the Command Device Status panel.
Executing YKBLDCMD
When b is specified in the AC column in the Route Status panel, the YKBLDCMD command is
executed to register a command device to storage system. The Confirm Command Device Build
panel (see “Confirm Command Device Build Panel” (page 173)) will be displayed.
When registering a command device, perform the settings in order, starting from the primary site
and progressing towards the more distant site (in the order in which they are defined in the route
list).
If b is specified for multiple ACs in the Route Status panel, they will be processed sequentially from
the top of the list.
Even when b is specified for multiple ACs in the Route Status panel and is specified not to display
the Confirm Command Device Build panel, the Confirm Command Device Build panel will be
displayed after an error and before processing the next volume.
NOTE:
• After turning power on for the storage system, execute the YKBLDCMD command only once.
If you execute this command more than once, when the command device has already been
registered in storage system, the command device will not be registered. Before executing this
command, make sure that the target command device does not control the storage system.
• If a command device is registered, do not delete the path to the storage system (inter-CU
logical path or inter-DKC logical path).
• Take the target command device offline before executing the YKBLDCMD command.
Executing YKDELCMD
When d is specified in the AC column in the Route Status panel, the YKDELCMD command is
executed to delete a command device which is registered to the storage system. The Confirm
Command Device Delete panel (see “Displayed from Route Status Panel” (page 174)) will be
displayed.
To delete a command device, perform deletion in the reverse order of the route list definition,
starting from the most distant site where a command device has been already registered, progressing
towards the primary site. For details about how to delete a command device, see the HP
StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software Users Guide.
