pairsyncwait
Synchronization waiting command
Description
The pairsyncwait command is used to confirm that a mandatory write (and
all writes before it) has been stored in the DFW (write) cache area of the
RCU.
The command gets the latest P-VOL async-CA sequence # of the main
control unit (MCU) side file and the sequence # of the most recently
received write at the RCU DFW (with the correct CTGID, group or
raw_device
) and compares them at regular intervals.
If the RCU sequence # exceeds the value of the designated MCU sequence
# within the time specified, this command reports a 0 return code (meaning
P-VOL/S-VOL synchronization to the desired point is achieved).
The –nowait option shows the latest sequence # (Q-marker) of the
designated MCU P-VOL and CTGID. The Q-marker is displayed in 10
hexadecimal characters.
Syntax
pairsyncwait { –nomsg | –d pair_vol | –d[g] raw_device [ MU# ] | –d[g]
seq# LDEV# [ MU# ] | -fq | –g group | -h | –m marker | –nowait | -q |
–t timeout | -z[x] }
Arguments
–nomsg Suppresses messages to be displayed. It is used to
execute a command from a user program.
If used, this argument must be specified at the
beginning of a command argument.
–d pair_vol Used to specify a logical (named) volume that is
defined in the configuration definition file. When this
