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

NOTE:
• In some configurations such as when CA and BC share volumes or a 1 to n (n is greater than
2) configuration of BC, the status transitions of each copy pair might not be correctly monitored.
• When using a copy pair on a remote site (a site that is not channel-connected directly from
the local host), the YKWATCH command cannot monitor the status transition of the copy pair
on the remote site. Use the YKEWAIT command.
• When using a CAJ copy pair, the YKWATCH command cannot monitor the status transition of
the CAJ copy pair. Use the YKEWAIT command.
• Execute the YKWATCH command when device numbers are assigned for P-VOLs of all copy
pairs in the copy group specified in the GROUP parameter, and the P-VOLs are online.
• You cannot specify a console ID for the CN operand when the OS being used is z/OS V1R8
or later.
• Specify INTERNAL for the CN operand only when the OS being used is z/OS V1R9 or later.
• The YKWATCH command cannot monitor Non Gen'ed volumes.
• The YKWATCH command cannot monitor the transition to the CONSLOST status. Use the
YKEWAIT command.
