RAID Manager features and environment
RAID Manager lets you issue Business Copy (BC) and Continuous Access
(CA) commands from a host. These commands can be issued from the
command line or built into a script (for example, a ksh, perl script, or an
MS-DOS batch file).
You can execute a large number of BC and CA commands in a short period
of time by using scripts containing RM commands. In MPE/iX, you can
create POSIX command scripts. For more information about scripting, see
“RAID Manager commands in scripts”
RM also provides failover and operation commands that can support
mutual hot standby when used with industry-standard failover software.
RM software consists of the following:
• RM instances (daemons)
• configuration files
• BC/CA commands and shell scripts
RM uses these entities:
• a special volume called a command device
• BC/CA volumes
RM runs in these (and other) environments
:

daemon.
