HP P9000 Business Continuity Manager Reference Guide (T5253-96058, September 2011)

on the copy direction of the copy pair and the specified parameters. For the information that you
can acquire, see “REXX Variables Updated by YKQUERY Command with the TO Parameter
Specified” (page 345).
PRIMARY
The information is acquired from the P-VOL at the time the copy pair was defined.
SECONDARY
The information is acquired from the S-VOL at the time the copy pair was defined.
VERIFY
If this parameter is specified, the command checks the copy group structure, provided that the copy
pair is not in the SIMPLEX status, and allows information to be acquired from the P-VOL. For details
about the content that is checked, see the description of the copy group configuration check function
in the HP StorageWorks P9000 for Business Continuity Manager Software Users Guide.
NOTE:
• For CG containers specified by EXCTG ID, if you execute the YKDELETE command and then
the YKQUERY command to obtain the copy pair status, the YKZ296E message sometimes
appears when the dissolving of the copy pair is detected at a different time from the dissolving
of EXCTG, but this does not mean that an error has occurred. However, for CG containers
specified by EXCTG ID, HP recommends that you execute the YKDELETE command and then
the YKEWAIT GOTO(SIMPLEX) command, wait until the copy pair status changes to SIMPLEX,
and then execute the YKQUERY command.
• If all of the following conditions are satisfied, the status cannot be acquired even if the TO
parameter is specified:
When the copy type is BC
When the volume is a Non Gen'ed volume
When an error occurs in the pair Gen'ed volume
Return Codes
Table 127 (page 233) lists the return codes to be returned when the YKQUERY command terminates.

The command terminated abnormally, possibly because the user SVC routine has
not been included properly.
-4095 to -4040
The module cannot be loaded. Possible causes are as follows:-3
• The library dataset has not been linked.
• The module is protected by the RACF program control function.

The command completed normally.0
P-VOLs in incompatible status. This return code appears, for example, when the
P-VOL is in the offline status.
8
The VERIFY parameter was specified, and the copy group definition was found
to be inconsistent with the actual copy group.
12
P-VOL is in an inconsistent status. This return code appears, for example, when, in
an BC copy group, the P-VOL for the copy pair for which processing is attempted
