1 Overview of commands
Unless otherwise specified, the term P9000 in this guide refers to the following disk array:
• P9500 Disk Array
The GUI illustrations in this guide were created using a Windows computer with the Internet Explorer
browser. Actual windows may differ depending on the operating system and browser used. GUI
contents also vary with licensed program products, storage system models, and firmware versions.
This chapter provides the overview for the RAID Manager commands.
Command summary
RAID Manager enables you to perform operations on RAID storage systems by issuing commands
from the command line. This document describes and provides the specifications for the following
commands.
• Replication commands
Commands for the replication operation that can be executed from RAID Manager.
• Subcommands
There are two types of subcommands:
◦ Environment variable subcommands: Set or cancel an environment variable within a RAID
Manager command.
◦ Windows subcommands: Executed as options of a RAID Manager command.
• Command tools
Command tools for RAID Manager.
• Configuration setting commands
Commands for the configuration setting (provisioning operation) that can be executed from
RAID Manager.
The following table describes the replication commands:
Table 1 Replication commands
DescriptionCommand
Used for both maintenance and troubleshooting on Continuous Access Synchronous. The
horcctl command allows you to change and display the internal trace control parameters
(For example, level, type, buffer size) of the HORC Manager and/or Continuous Access
Synchronous commands. If a new value is not specified to a parameter, the trace control
parameter that is specified currently is displayed.
horcctl
Shell script for stopping the HORCM application (/etc/horcmgr).horcmshutdown
Shell script that starts the HORCM application (/etc/horcmgr). This shell script can also set
the environment variables for HORCM as needed (For example, HORCM_CONF,
HORCM_LOG, HORCM_LOGS).
horcmstart
Scripted command for executing multiple HORC operation commands combined. It checks
the volume attribute (optionally specified) and decides a takeover action. The horctakeoff
operation is defined to change from 3DC multi-target to 3DC multi-hop with the state of
running APP, after that the horctakeover command can configure 3DC multi-target on the
remote site without stopping the application. The granularity of either a logical volume or
volume group can be specified with this command.
horctakeoff
12 Overview of commands
Table 1 Replication commands (continued)
DescriptionCommand
Scripted command for executing multiple Continuous Access Synchronous and Continuous
Access Journal takeover operations. It checks the specified volume’s or group’s attributes
(paircurchk), decides the takeover function based on the attributes, executes the chosen
takeover function, and returns the result.
horctakeover
Creates a new volume pair from two unpaired volumes.paircreate
Checks the current status of the Continuous Access Synchronous secondary volume(s) by
evaluating the data consistency based on pair status and fence level.
paircurchk
Displays the pair status allowing you to verify completion of pair operations (e.g., paircreate,
pairresync). The pairdisplay command is also used to confirm the configuration of the pair
connection path (the physical link of paired volumes and servers). The pairdisplay command
can be used for a paired volume or a group of paired volumes.
pairdisplay
Waits for completion of pair creation and pair resynchronization and confirms the status
of pair operations.
pairevtwait
Obtains the pair status transition of each volume pair and reports it. If the pair status changes
(due to an error or a user-specified command), the pairmon command issues a message.
pairmon
Re-establishes a split pair volume and then restarts the update copy operations to the
secondary volume. The pairresync command can resynchronize either a paired logical
volume or a group of paired volumes.
pairresync
Splits and deletes volume pairs.pairsplit
Used to confirm data consistency between the Continuous Access Asynchronous and
Continuous Access Journal P-VOL and S-VOL by confirming that required writing was stored
in the DFW area of RCU, and confirming whether the last writing just before this command
reached the RCU DFW area.

Differences from Remote Web Console
Some of the operations that can be performed by RAID Manager commands can be also performed
from Remote Web Console. However, there are slight differences in usable characters for nicknames
and others. This section describes the differences from Remote Web Console.
Usable characters
If using a RAID Manager command and Remote Web Console in parallel, use the characters that
can be used for both.
The following shows the characters that can be used for RAID Manager commands in the ASCII
codes:
“\” can be used on WIN32 only. “/” can be used on UNIX series (except WIN32) only.
Differences from Remote Web Console 17
Figure 1 List of usable character codes for RAID Manager commands
The following shows the characters that can be used for Remote Web Console commands in the
ASCII codes.
18 Overview of commands
Figure 2 List of usable character codes for Remote Web Console
Settable character length
The settable character lengths might be different between RAID Manager commands and Remote
Web Console.
If using a RAID Manager command and Remote Web Console in parallel, adjust the number of
characters to the smaller number and define the names. In case of a RAID Manager command, if
the larger number than settable is input, the settable length of the characters starting at the head
of the input characters is treated as the input.
The settable character lengths are listed below.

Differences with Remote Web Console
The operation procedures and the operatable contents are partly different between RAID Manager
and Remote Web Console. The following table shows the operational differences with Remote
Web Console.

Remote Web ConsoleRAID ManagerContents Operation
Available to specify the path groups on the
screen and to execute the path definition
at one time.
The path definition is required for

the path group.
Path addition or change for the external

Host mode can be referred regardless of
the LU path definition.
The host mode cannot be referred
for the host group that has no LU
path definition.
Host mode reference
Registration can be done on the both way
of specifying or not specifying CU.
The only method of not specifying
CU (CU free) is available.
RCU registration
All of the operations (newly addition,
changing, and deleting) are not available.
The resources that operate in this
program product cannot be
added newly. Changing or
deleting is available.

Displays even if the LUN security is
disabled (gray display).
Displays only when the LUN
security is enabled.

The size can be specified in both ways of
GB and LBA. There are some corrections
on the GB specifying.
The size can be specified in both
way of GB and LBA.
When specifying GB, note the
following items.
• There is no size correction.
• If the capacity of LDEVs that
are created by each GUI and
CLI are the same, a copy pair
might not be created. To
create a pair with the LDEV
that is created by GUI, create
a LDEV by specifying LBA.
