HP XP P9000 RAID Manager Reference Guide (T1610-96061, January 2014)

Options and parameters
DescriptionOption
Displays help/usage and version information.-h
Terminates the interactive mode and exits the command.-q
Makes the paircreate command enter interactive mode. The -zx option guards performing of the
HORCM in 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[TC][SI]
[instance#]
Specifies a group name defined in the configuration definition file. The command is executed for
the specified group unless the -d <pair Vol> option is specified.
-g <group>
Specifies paired logical volume name defined in the configuration definition file. When this option
is specified, the command is executed for the specified paired logical volume.
-d <pair Vol>
Searches whether the specified raw_device is included in a group on the configuration definition
file (local instance). If it is in the group, the target volume is executed as the paired logical volume
-d[g]
<raw_device>
[MU#] (-d) or group (-dg). This option is effective without specification of -g <group> option. If the specified
raw_device is contained in two or more groups, the command is executed for the first group.
Searches whether the specified LDEV is included in a group on the configuration definition file (local
instance). If it is 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 (add the '0x' prefix) or decimal notation.
Continuous Access Synchronous/Continuous Access Synchronous Async/Continuous Access Journal,
and ESAM only.
-f[g] <fence>
[CTGID]
Specifies the fence level for assuring the consistency of paired volume data. A fence level of 'data',
'status', 'never', or 'async' must be specified. This option must always be specified. Fence level '-f
async' can be specified only for Continuous Access Synchronous Async/Continuous Access Journal.
The '-fg' option is used to make Continuous Access Synchronous Sync CTG volume, and fence level
must be specified as '-fg data', '-fg status', or '-fg never'.
Specifies the fence level of '-f never' for ESAM.
A CTGID (CT Group ID) is assigned automatically if you do not specify the 'CTGID' option in this
command and define it in the config file. If 'CTGID' is not specified (with '-f async' or '-fg' option)
and the maximum number of CT groups already exists (for example, 256 for XP12000 Disk
Array/XP10000 Disk Array, 128 for XP1024/XP128 Disk Array), an EX_ENOCTG error is returned.
Therefore, the 'CTGID' option can forcibly assign a volume group to an existing CTGID
(0-15/0-63/0-127/0-255) on the RAID storage systems. The CTGID option is ignored unless you
specify the '-f async' or '-fg' option.
Specifies the data flow direction and must always be specified. The -vl(-pvol) option specifies 'local'
and the host which issues the command possesses the primary volume. The -vr(-svol) option specifies
-vl or -vr
-pvol [ldevgrp]
'remote' and the remote host possesses the primary volume while the local host possesses the
secondary volume. [ldevgrp] makes the specified LDEV group as the second volume.
or
-svol [ldevgrp]
Continuous Access Synchronous/Continuous Access Synchronous Async/Business Copy only.-c <size>
Specifies the track size of extents (1 - 15) to be used for the copy operation. If you specify a large
number, the time for copy operation will be shortened.When you want to copy in a short time by
stopping Write of P-VOL, specify the maximum value 15. If this option is not specified, the default
value (3) is used.
