paircreate

Create a pair relationship

Description

The paircreate command establishes a primary to secondary pair
relationship between volumes. This command generates a new paired
volume from SMPL volumes. The default action pairs a logical group of
volumes as defined in the RM instance configuration file.

HP-UX

Caution

Before issuing this command, ensure that the secondary volume is not
mounted on any HP-UX system. If the secondary volume is mounted during
the paircreate command, change the pair status to SMPL, unmount the
secondary volume, and reissue the paircreate command.

MPE/iX

Caution

Before issuing this command, ensure that the secondary volume is not
mounted on any MPE/iX system. If it is, VSCLOSE that volume set and
de-configure the LDEVs using IOCONFIG, the online device configuration
utility program.
