This section assumes that the user is familiar with batch files and does not provide instructions for
writing or editing batch files. The macro commands and parameters listed in this section are the
only commands recognized by the scripting function.

CAUTION:

The user is responsible for testing the scripting function before running any scripts. If

a script is run without prior testing and the script ends abnormally, data loss could occur. Before
testing a script, back up the data and vary the volumes offline. If the volumes must remain online,
back up the data and confirm that the target pair defined in the script is correct. The results of a
script can be confirmed by checking the latest pair status update (Last Update Time field on
Continuous Access Synchronous Z Detailed Information dialog box).

The scripting command names did not change when the product name changed from HRC to
Continuous Access Synchronous Z. Your existing XP256 Disk Array HRC scripting files can be
used for Continuous Access Synchronous Z operations.

Table 45 (page 102)

lists the Continuous Access Synchronous Z pair macro commands.

Table 46 (page 102)

lists the internal macro commands for scripting. The following operations

cannot be performed using scripting and must be performed using the Remote Web Console
computer:

Configure serial/fibre ports

Monitor remote copy activity

Clear remote copy SIMs

Add/delete RCU

Change RCU options

Add/delete path/SSID

View RCU status

The scripting command names did not change when the product name changed from HRC to

used for pair operations.
